The Challenge
Actifile, a top data security platform, has built its name on trust and compliance. However, as it prepared for worldwide development, the company encountered operational issues that may divert attention away from its core offering.
- Complex Regulations: Selling in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia required dealing with foreign currencies, taxes, and privacy laws.
- PCI Compliance: Managing credit card data needed stringent PCI compliance, which was costly, resource-intensive, and non-negotiable.
- Resource Strain: Handling global billing, subscriptions, and tax remittances was now done by a startup staff that was better suited to software engineering than international finance.
