How Hyperbound Scaled Securely with VioletX’s Expert Guidance

Hyperbound is redefining how sales teams train and improve performance. Its AI-powered sales roleplay platformtransforms Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) descriptions into realistic, interactive AI buyers in less than two minutes. This allows sales representatives to simulate cold calls, warm conversations, and discovery meetings—building confidence and refining their sales skills without risking real leads or pipeline opportunities.

For sales leaders, Hyperbound solves a long-standing challenge: roleplay training is valuable but historically unscalable and biased. By automating this process with AI, Hyperbound enables faster onboarding—cutting ramp time by up to 50%—and improves conversion rates across the sales funnel. As the platform gained momentum, Hyperbound set its sights on expanding into the mid-market and enterprise space, where security and compliance expectations are significantly higher.

The Challenge: Scaling Growth While Meeting Rising Security Expectations

Hyperbound’s leadership team, including founders Sriharsha Guduguntla and Atul Raghunathan, recognized that pursuing larger enterprise clients would require a formalized and credible security program.

Although the team successfully completed SOC 2 Type I certification on their own, it became clear that scaling security operations while growing the business was unsustainable without external expertise.

Key challenges included:

• Navigating complex enterprise security questionnaires and demonstrating compliance to non-technical buyers.
• Prioritizing critical security initiatives without getting overwhelmed by technical jargon and unnecessary tasks.
• Balancing the need for compliance with the realities of a fast-moving, resource-constrained startup.

The team knew they needed a partner who could translate security requirements into actionable plans—without slowing down product growth or adding unnecessary complexity.

The VioletX Approach: Strategic, Hands-On Support Across SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Hyperbound turned to VioletX for end-to-end compliance support. As a trusted advisor, VioletX provided leadership across both SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 programs—helping the team not just meet compliance standards, but build a scalable security program aligned to their business model.

• End-to-End Compliance Strategy:
  VioletX guided Hyperbound through every phase of SOC 2 and ISO 27001, from readiness assessments to audit preparation. By helping the team prioritize the highest-impact security controls, VioletX kept the process focused and efficient.
• Founder-Focused Communication:
  Understanding the founder’s perspective, VioletX translated complex security and compliance language into clear business terms. This enabled Hyperbound’s leadership to confidently handle enterprise security conversations and procurement reviews.
• Weekly Strategic Syncs and Real-Time Support:
  With dedicated weekly syncs and a private Slack channel, VioletX acted as an extension of the Hyperbound team—resolving roadblocks, answering technical and non-technical questions, and helping navigate key customer security requirements.
• Seamless Transition to ISO 27001:
  After successfully completing SOC 2, Hyperbound engaged VioletX again to lead its ISO 27001 certification effort. VioletX applied the same structured, execution-driven approach to help the team efficiently expand its security program to meet the more rigorous international standard.

The Outcome: Strong Security Posture, Faster Sales Cycles, and Scalable Growth

With VioletX’s leadership, Hyperbound achieved SOC 2 Type II certification with no exceptions and successfully completed its ISO 27001 certification—enabling the company to confidently pursue and win enterprise deals.

Key outcomes included:

• A scalable, audit-ready security framework supporting both U.S. and international standards.
• Significantly faster procurement cycles, with security no longer a barrier to closing deals.
• Greater confidence in engaging with enterprise clients, backed by a clear, defensible security posture.
• Time savings and reduced operational overhead, allowing the team to focus on product innovation and revenue growth.

“We recommend VioletX to every company building a product. Their ability to simplify complex security processes and provide hands-on guidance is unmatched. They made compliance something we could manage confidently while staying focused on growth.”
