Workstreet Reviews & Provider Details

Name: Workstreet
Rating: 4.7 (20 reviews)

Workstreet operates as the security team for technology companies, building and running the security and compliance programs enterprise buyers require before they sign. Trusted by 3,000+ companies, from early-stage startups to global enterprises, including Cursor, Clay, Granola, Black Forest Labs, Exa, and beehiv. Buyers now expect continuous proof of security, not a once-a-year audit, and AI governance is becoming a standard part of security reviews. We build that proof across three pillars: - Program: security and compliance built as one program. That covers risk management, cloud, identity, and endpoint security, plus compliance across 40+ frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, HITRUST, FedRAMP, CMMC, DORA, GDPR, and CCPA. Adding a framework reuses what you've built instead of starting over. - Process: we rebuild the workflows where security stalls, from questionnaire backlogs to pen test findings that sit unread. Automation handles the repeatable work, and people keep the judgment calls. - People: role-based training, hands-on workshops, and change management, so engineering owns its controls and teams think security-first. What we do: - Readiness Assessment: a focused 30-, 60-, or 90-day engagement that finds the gaps blocking deals and sequences the fix - Virtual CISO: security leadership, board-level reporting, and clear priorities on the risks that matter most - Continuous Compliance Operations: evidence collected as work happens, ongoing monitoring, and trust center support - AI Governance: visibility into which AI tools your team uses and where the data goes - Testing & Assurance: penetration testing, including AI-specific testing, plus audit readiness and support - GRC Modernization: we move programs off spreadsheets, manual processes, and legacy GRC tools onto automated platforms, with no compliance gaps during the switch - Platform Implementation: as Vanta's #1 Platinum partner, we stand up your compliance platform and run the program around it By the numbers: 350+ security and compliance experts 100+ audits managed every month 1,000+ security questionnaires passed every month 9.3 Net Promoter Score Build trust. Move fast.

"Tailored Policies and Highly Responsive Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

They were not a one size fits all framework, they worked with us to tailor policies from the various available policy libraries. Our support team was prepared for every meeting, on our slack server, and was very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

None noted, they were a new high watermark for me in terms of vCISO services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workstreet:

Be clear on your scoping and understand what you do, what they do, and what your auditor is going to look for (if applicable). They have a full pre-engagement process for right sizing, I suggest you use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workstreet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workstreet helped us as a vCISO and our SOC2 process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hayden Traughber of Workstreet

Thank you so much! Hearing we were a “new high watermark” for vCISO services made our day. We loved working with your team and are grateful for the partnership.

"Critical ISO 27001 Support with Strong vCISO Services"

5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

I really appreciate how Workstreet helped us obtain our ISO 27001 certification. Their expertise is invaluable in running and managing our ISO 27001 controls, particularly when we don’t have the internal bandwidth or expertise. They're very accessible, being on Slack and other preferred channels, and they conduct regular check-ins to ensure we're on top of our issues. I also like that they defended us from unnecessary auditor queries about documentation, which was really helpful. The vCISO service was particularly beneficial for us, making efficient use of capital for such niche skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

I'm based in APAC, and it wasn't until late 2025 that they were able to have someone working in the APAC timezone with us. I'd love to see a tighter feedback loop to Vanta on some Vanta's app issues so that we could leverage it more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Effective Virtual CISO Service"

5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

What I appreciate most about Workstreet is its seamless integration with Vanta, which has been a major advantage for our startup. Their team brings deep experience across a wide range of security frameworks, and they handle policy development, documentation, and third-party attestations—HIPAA, GDPR, and more—all in one place. This eliminates the need to juggle multiple auditors or vendors. I also value their communication style: they stay engaged through asynchronous channels like Slack and schedule live exercises exactly when I need them. Their respect for my time and ability to work at a variable pace as security matters are more or less urgent make them exceptionally easy to partner with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

I don’t have any meaningful criticisms at this point. Our experience with Workstreet has been positive, and any questions or small needs that come up are addressed quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workstreet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workstreet strengthens our overall security posture and guides us through third-party attestation and certification requirements. This support ensures we meet the expectations of our business partners and unlocks new partnership opportunities. They help us manage policy documentation, internal audits, and compliance across various frameworks, reducing operational burden and giving us confidence in our security and regulatory readiness.

"Promising start but felt commoditized"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

Early energy was strong, came in with a great plan and were responsive to our questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

We had a 6-month engagement where we were actively building for around a week.

Once our 6-month engagement expired, we were still contractually owed a penetration test and audit, which they acknowledged. Unfortunately, they refused to answer a basic question about the process, e.g. "what is the scope of the pen test", without agreeing to an extension of the agreement.

Their website lacks sufficient details and no docs that were provided answered the most basic question.

Interestingly, I posed as a new customer and asked the same question to their sales person and was provided answers immediately.

I can understand needing an engagement to respond to detail oriented questions unique to our situation, but withholding an answer to a basic question about scope that should be addressed on the website felt frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Don’t be scared if security compliance. Workstreet is your partner."

5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

They are so extremely constructive with a goal being compliance ready in the least disruptive way to our team as possible. What a great investment it’s been. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

I only wish we had begun working with them earlier. I have absolutely no regrets—it has been completely worth the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workstreet:

Consider signing up to work with them as a long-term solution, rather than approaching it as just a one-time audit. You’ll find yourself very satisfied having them as a part of your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workstreet solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I learned that we needed to undergo a compliance audit before securing our first customer, I felt a sense of dread. I anticipated that the process would take months and put a heavy burden on our engineering team. As a medical platform, security has always been a top priority for us, but our resources have always been limited. When Vanta suggested we collaborate with Work Street, I was initially skeptical, assuming it was just another partnership they were promoting. However, I soon discovered that Work Street genuinely acts as a partner for us. From the outset, they made the entire process more efficient. We even have a dedicated Teams channel where we can communicate with them as if they are part of our own team. I have been thoroughly impressed with how communicative and responsive @Lissa and @Stephen have been, helping us become audit-ready within just a month. I look forward to continuing our collaboration with them for years to come.

Oh… And, their CEO even jumped on a call to support us when we needed extra help explaining our security audit compliance plan to a customer. They go over and above in every way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great experience, simplified the blocking and tackling of compliance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

I'm not a compliance expert, and so I have a lot of questions. Having Workstreet there to support us and make sure that our policies and procedures were not only in-line to pass the tests in Vanta/the audit but also to help us make sure we were doing the right things for our business and customers was super-valuable. They are also experts in Vanta, which was helpful. All of that meant that when starting a company, I didn't have to become an expert in compliance, but can instead focus on my company, product, customers while keeping user data safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

Not a lot of downsides. I did end up getting automated alerts from Vanta as well as alerts from Workstreet for the same things (which can be a bit annoying), but I found myself relying more on Workstreet, as they had more context about what we were doing, and I can have a conversation about the alerts with Workstreet - I can't do that with an automated slack message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workstreet:

Workstreet + a good auditor is a great combo, and ended up being reasonably priced as a package. I would use Workstreet again, but I would also spend time finding the right auditor, as they can run the gamut. Also, if you are crisp and clear in your comms then things work better - it's not to say you have to know everything, just explicitly ask questions you don't have an answer to. They manage a lot of stuff, so if you are explicit about what you are looking for, they can give you a much better response and support. And our main point of contact was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workstreet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workstreet makes compliance easier - we had already signed up for Vanta, but where we are not experts on compliance, Workstreet was super-helpful in getting us through the process and essentially managing the "project of compliance." It meant I had to spend less time worrying about what came next, and instead had a trusted partner working through the process to help answer questions and keep us on track.

"Our first-year SOC 2 guidance and reliable support"

4/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

WorkStreet provided clear, structured guidance through our first SOC 2 cycle. The team was responsive, friendly, and proactive in communication. Their reminders and support for evidence collection, audits, and reviews made it easy to stay on track without having to manage the process internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

For teams ready to manage compliance in-house, the value of a managed service naturally decreases. Beyond that, WorkStreet’s core services are best suited for organizations that prefer a fully guided approach rather than self-management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workstreet:

If you’re new to SOC 2 or want a team to oversee every step for you, WorkStreet is an excellent partner. Their support makes the process approachable and organized from day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Made our SOC II process 10x smoother"

5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

Workstreet made the entire SOC 2 process clear and manageable. They broke down complex compliance requirements into practical steps, gave us templates and frameworks we could actually use, and were always quick to answer questions. Their team felt like an extension of ours: supportive, knowledgeable, and focused on getting us to the finish line without unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

There wasn’t anything major to dislike. The process naturally requires a lot of documentation and detail, which can feel overwhelming at times, but that’s more about SOC 2 itself than Workstreet. Their guidance helped make it much easier to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workstreet was an incredible partner in our SOC 2 journey"

5/5

What do you like best about Workstreet?

One of the most impactful aspects of our experience was Workstreet’s virtual CISO program. As a small company, hiring a full-time CISO wasn’t feasible—but through their fractional CISO service, we were able to implement enterprise-grade security practices from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstreet?

The ongoing cost is harder to justify after completing the initial compliance work, but Workstreet has been open to adjusting their approach as our needs evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workstreet:

Come prepared to actively engage—they’re not just checking boxes for you. Workstreet will guide you through the process, but your team still needs to participate to get the most out of it. They trained us on how to use Vanta effectively, supplied clear and comprehensive templates for our policies and procedures, and created a practical roadmap for achieving compliance. At every stage, they made the next steps obvious and manageable, which let us stay focused on running our business while making steady progress toward certification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workstreet solving and how is that benefiting you?

We began with no prior knowledge of SOC 2, and with their guidance, we’ve successfully navigated the entire process—from education to implementation. Our audit window is now closed, and we’ve built strong security practices and a robust compliance framework thanks to Workstreet’s support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
