Cambio Earth is a software company that combines modern technology with applied earth science. Its platform helps infrastructure operators use connected data, analytics, and visualization to understand geotechnical risks and build resilience.

Cambio Earth aims to set a new standard in earth science intelligence for building and operating climate-resilient infrastructure. Cloud-based technology is central to its mission, so it needed a knowledgeable, dependable audit firm comfortable working in that environment for its ISO/IEC 27001 audit.

As a startup-oriented company, Cambio Earth knew its fresh energy and growth mindset called for the right audit firm. It valued familiarity with tools such as Slack and GRC platforms, as well as experience with cloud-based environments. It also knew effective communication would be key, given the back-and-forth required between internal teams and outside parties. (Weighing frameworks? See ISO 27001 vs. SOC 2 for startups.)

Cambio Earth also needed thorough audit work that would give current and potential customers confidence when reading the resulting reports. Finally, the company prioritized responsive access to its audit team, because it expected questions and knew customer-related issues might come up.

Insight Assurance performed a structured, thorough audit, supported by responsive and approachable team members. The team answered questions through whichever channels were most convenient and joined calls when more discussion was useful. Its familiarity with cloud environments, modern compliance workflows, and MSP relationships created a strong foundation of mutual understanding and made communication more efficient.

“I like that Insight Assurance audits OpenAI and seems to work well with MSPs. They appear to be the most startup-native [auditing firm], using tools like Slack, and are familiar with cloud environments,” said Nick W. of Cambio Earth.

Insight Assurance clarified audit expectations and answered audit-related questions without compromising the rigor of the engagement.

Cambio Earth added:

“Their fast and friendly support staff stand out as the most helpful part of their audit process. Their thorough audits provide a high level of trust in the reports, and I appreciate that they’re able to help find good solutions to problems our customers face.”

Cambio Earth received thorough audit reports that support a high level of customer trust.

Quick access to the Insight Assurance team let Cambio Earth resolve questions efficiently throughout the engagement.

Consistent audit quality and a startup-friendly working style strengthened the relationship. Nick W. also commented that “Insight Assurance provides thorough audits, boosting trust in reports … Their support helps solve our customers’ issues effectively, leading us to continue our partnership with them.”
