Procurement signed off in five days. SOC 2 Type II, SSO, EU data residency — every box, no friction. The hardest part of buying enterprise software was that it wasn't hard.
How they got here.
How a 1,400-person cybersecurity company moved an SEO platform through enterprise procurement in less time than most pilots take to start.
beacon. is a publicly-traded cybersecurity company. That means every vendor — even a 12-seat SEO tool — runs through the same procurement gauntlet: security questionnaire, SOC 2 evidence, DPIA, legal review, SSO requirement, EU data residency clause. Priya had watched the last two SEO platforms her team wanted die in legal for 6+ months apiece.
When she scoped SEONova, the security room was already populated. SOC 2 Type II report, ISO 27001 evidence, a pre-filled CAIQ-Lite, EU data residency available on request, SCIM provisioning ready out of the box. Her CISO's security team flagged zero blockers. Legal red-lined two clauses and sent it back the same week.
Total elapsed time from "we want this" to "we're using this": five business days. Priya's team was running its first audit on day six. Nine months in, beacon. has consolidated their entire technical SEO operation onto the platform, with full SSO and audit-log streaming into their SIEM.
