About Champion
Champion is a B2B SaaS company specializing in customer marketing and success. The customer marketing platform creates post-sale marketing programs that generate new growth for enterprise-level businesses.
The Challenge
As a new player in the market, Champion recognized the critical importance of cybersecurity before the company officially launched.
Courtney Crispin, CTO and Co-founder of Champion, stated: “We started thinking about cybersecurity before we officially started. In early conversations, we were getting a lot of questions about security.” These prospective companies were also in a place where vendor security was of the utmost importance. Security compliance, specifically ISO 27001, became imperative to establish trust and credibility for Champion.
However, the Champion team knew they needed guidance to build security from the beginning and sought out a team of professionals.

Champion engaged with Trava for guidance and support in navigating the complex cybersecurity and compliance landscape. Trava's expertise and tailored solutions were instrumental in streamlining the compliance process.
