A clearer path for Leap Forward
We handle incredibly sensitive mental health data at Leap Forward, so getting ISO 27001 and working towards SOC 2 was non-negotiable. We needed a platform that actually made that journey manageable—not more overwhelming.

The customer journey
From challenge to measurable progress
How Leap Forward moved from a clear business need to practical security and compliance outcomes.
The Challenge
As a growing startup, Leap Forward faced the challenge of managing extensive ISO documentation and compliance evidence efficiently. Their existing platform proved to be expensive, complex and poorly suited to the agility of a startup environment.
They needed a solution that was cost-effective, intuitive and designed to simplify document management, evidence tracking and annual audits without compromising on compliance standards.
The Solution
Leap Forward adopted Apollo Secure to simplify and streamline their ISO 27001 compliance process. Apollo provided an easy-to-use, centralised workspace where documentation, evidence and security controls could be managed in one place.
The platform's intuitive interface made it simple for the team to upload, organise and monitor compliance requirements without the technical complexity of larger systems. During their annual surveillance audit, the auditor was impressed by how easy it was to navigate, find documents and verify controls. This ease of use reduced the time required for the audit, which in turn lowered costs for Leap Forward.
The Apollo Secure team's local presence and support further strengthened the partnership, making Apollo Secure a trusted long-term ally in Leap Forward's ISO journey.
The Results
With Apollo Secure, Leap Forward streamlined its ISO 27001 compliance process, gaining visibility and control over documentation and evidence in one place. The platform's simplicity reduced audit time and costs, while impressing external auditors with its ease of use.
With Apollo's ongoing support, Leap Forward continues to strengthen its security posture and work confidently toward additional certifications like SOC 2.
