FIRST-HAND READS

What people reported, in their own words. Every line links to where it was said.

  • “fastspring handle everything. They accept payment into their account and you essentially transfer out of their account into yours. They store credit card information, bank information, PII, deal with and pay all the taxes for all the states and also overseas, they're GDPR compliant and all that kind of stuff. My fractional CISO was actually really impressed and also with their price. And there was no cyber security considerations for me regarding getting to SOC2 compliance”
