But these services must be secure and meet certain regulatory requirements, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or SOC 2. When our customer, Mulligan Funding, needed to launch a new fintech SaaS platform, they had to ensure that all communication to and from the application would be secure and SOC 2 compliant, since the platform would handle sensitive personal and financial data. To achieve this, Mulligan Funding decided to standardize on Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and chose Calico Cloud for its security and compliance needs. In an exclusive interview with Tigera, Mulligan Funding detailed how the company was able to strengthen its cloud SaaS platform’s security posture, reduce service disruptions, streamline troubleshooting, and achieve SOC 2 compliance after implementing Calico Cloud. ## Case study highlights Mulligan Funding faced two major challenges when it came to achieving SOC 2 compliance: - Ensure compliance and be notified of any control changes 24/7 in a way that’s scalable - Gain visibility into clusters to immediately pinpoint issues that require troubleshooting ![Quote about gaining visibility into clusters to pinpoint issues](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/01/Customer-quote-Mulligan-Funding-02.png) Read the case study to learn: - How Mulligan Funding bolstered its security posture at scale through unified security policy management. - Why deploying Calico Cloud not only helped Mulligan Funding achieve compliance, but also helped the company reduce service distributions and optimize troubleshooting. ***Read the case study: [Calico Cloud enables Mulligan Funding to launch SOC 2-compliant fintech SaaS platform](https://link.tigera.io/ufk83)***   [Announcements](https://www.tigera.io/tags/announcements/) ## Related posts [![Meet Mylo: An AI-native way to work with Calico](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2026/09/Meet-Mylo-An-AI-native-way-to-work-with-Calico.png)](https://www.tigera.io/blog/meet-mylo-an-ai-native-way-to-work-with-calico/) [Technical Blog](https://www.tigera.io/category/technical-blog/) #### [Meet Mylo: An AI-native way to work with Calico](https://www.tigera.io/blog/meet-mylo-an-ai-native-way-to-work-with-calico/) By [Phil DiCorpo](https://www.tigera.io/blog/author/phil-dicorpo/) on Sep 3, 2026 A library of Calico tools and skills — delivered through the Calico MCP Server What if your hardest network question took ten minutes instead of ten days?
