A Case Study Overview—Dagger Gets Compliant in Half the Time with BARR and Vanta

Dagger, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with a globally distributed team, is an open-source DevOps tooling company focused on dramatically improving Continuous Integration (CI). Dagger sought to strengthen the company’s security posture by obtaining a SOC 2 in order to sustain its rapid growth.

The Challenge 

Given Dagger’s role in handling one of the most sensitive aspects of any business—its code—security has been a priority from the beginning. Dagger sought out solutions that would not only enhance Dagger’s security foundation, but also more proactively demonstrate their commitment to trust.

The Solution 

As Dagger searched for security and compliance partners, Vanta quickly emerged as a top choice, and was introduced to BARR Advisory, a Vanta MSP (Managed Service Provider) partner known for helping companies achieve compliance and implement robust cybersecurity programs.

In conversations with Mitch Evans, Director of BARR’s Cybersecurity Practice, and Larry Kinkaid, Manager of Cybersecurity Consulting at BARR, Sam discovered BARR’s deep expertise in leveraging Vanta to create long-term security strategies. BARR’s approach focuses on partnering with security-minded clients committed to making security a core priority, not just checking the compliance box.

The Results

Through its partnership with BARR and Vanta, Dagger:

• Saved time;
• Increased efficiency;
• Always audit ready;
• Accelerated growth, driven by trust.
