The cost of healthcare is increasing rapidly and for employers, managing these costs is a significant hurdle. Many employers are opting to cut back on benefits that are offered to employers, saving on premiums but costing employees more per visit, which in turn, leads employees to become less likely to see doctors. This is a vicious cycle that ultimately increases overall costs over time and poorer health outcomes. Pasito is a data-driven benefits navigation platform that allows both employers and employees to optimize the benefits that are offered to ensure that the goals of providing a valuable safety net is balanced with managing costs. The platform covers the entire benefits spectrum; not just healthcare by integrating with a company’s HR data stack to ensure that employees are able to make informed decisions that are tailored to individual circumstances. Pasito estimates it can save up to $1M per year for a 1000-person company by reducing the 61% of employees that opt into benefits that are never used.

Each of these integrations represents a potential security risk as organizations entrust third-party vendors with sensitive data. This information security concern is addressed through SOC2, an auditing protocol built on five key principles to ensure vendors are appropriately managing and protecting the customer data and the data of their clients. Laika is an end-to-end compliance platform that enables software and tech providers to be fully compliant with all requirements through automation. In addition to SOC2, the platform also handles ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements, making it versatile across a broad array of industry users.
