Testimonials

“Kassia led our SOC2 implementation from the beginning to end under extremely tight timelines and was able to get all the people, processes and systems in place while establishing processes to set us up for success with our SOC2 efforts in the future. She was a delight to work with and gives her all to the work needed.”

Joel Chretien - Director of Engineering, Knak

“Kassia was an amazing partner to me closing $100k ARR + Enterprise deals -- between completing heavy security questionnaires within incredibly short timelines, presenting to large procurement and security teams at many Fortune 500 & 100 companies, all while ensuring Knak's security posture was perfect, she is an "A" player that moves mountains.”

Meghan Brennan - Account Executive, Knak

“I had the pleasure of working with Kassia at UNB from 2015-2017. When she came to UNB her position was new so she was tasked with developing the position while maintaining daily operations. Not only did she immediately excel, but she also created new staff training modules and organizational policies and procedures that continue to be used today.

In addition to her exceptional organizational skills, Kassia excelled at building relationships with staff and members alike. She never shied away from difficult conversations, always putting staff and member'’ needs first. She became an influencer within our department within a very short time and someone I would often look to for perspective.

I continue to be impressed by Kassia's determination, energy and focus. With her experience and interpersonal skills, she is a STAR for any organization that has the pleasure of working with her.”

Lauren Rogers - Manager of Fitness & Wellness, University of New Brunswick

“I worked closely with Kassia as she built Knak's SOC 2 program in 2021 / 2022 from the ground up. Kassia supported our engineering team through education, policy/process development and was always willing to negotiate how to balance our ongoing responsibilities with security and compliance requirements. She has a high degree of professional integrity and told us honestly when our security timelines were, or were not, enough for customers and auditors. With her help, we caught and fixed many issues before they went out the door.

She worked closely with our Managed SOC-as-a-service, auditor, pen-testers and internal team members on incident response, vulnerability management and identity and access management and got us a clean SOC 2 Type 2 report. As a result, we won several large clients.

Kassia is a strong communicator and somehow makes security compliance fun. It was a pleasure working with her and the business impact of her work endures to this day.”.

Andrew Lee - Sr. Software Engineer and Lead AWS DevOps, Knak
