How BrainDonors & Creative Corner transformed their security posture, protected their clients' data, and unlocked deals that were previously out of reach.
Ad Tech International LLC operates two distinct brands under one roof. BrainDonors is a performance marketing agency, managing high-value digital advertising campaigns on behalf of their clients — with direct access to their ad accounts, budgets, and campaign data. Creative Corner is their web development arm, building and maintaining client websites and digital infrastructure.
Together, they employ 55 people across both brands. Their clients range from fast-growing e-commerce businesses to established B2B companies — all trusting them with access to sensitive commercial data and digital assets.
Before Veratlas, there was no structured IT or security infrastructure in place. The CTO — a technically strong, commercially focused leader — was the de facto IT department. Access management, tooling decisions, vendor onboarding, security questions: all handled ad hoc, on top of an already demanding role.
It worked — until enterprise clients started asking harder questions.
"Who has access to our ad accounts? How is our data protected? Are you ISO 27001 certified?"
As BrainDonors and Creative Corner grew, the gap between their commercial ambitions and their security posture became impossible to ignore. Enterprise prospects were raising security as a blocker. Deals that should have been straightforward were stalling — or simply not progressing at all — because the company could not answer basic security questions with confidence.
The stakes were high. Both brands handle sensitive client environments: advertising accounts with significant budgets attached, website infrastructure for dozens of businesses, and confidential commercial data that clients were trusting them to protect.
Benchmarking the cost of hiring internally quickly clarified the economics. Building a proper security function would require at least 3 hires — a security engineer, a compliance lead, and an IT operations person — totalling €100,000–€110,000 per year in salary alone, before tooling, training, or the 12+ months it would take to reach meaningful operational output. And after all of that investment, they still wouldn't have a certification pathway or guaranteed audit readiness.
They needed a partner who could move fast, own the entire process, and deliver a concrete outcome — not a consultant who would hand them a report and walk away.
A structured three-phase engagement, designed to move fast without cutting corners.
Delivered in 11 weeks — four weeks ahead of the 90-day commitment.
Peace of mind for our security state. Confidence when working with critical customer details and operating their ad accounts. The ability to protect the data of our company and our customers. And — perhaps most importantly — the ability to qualify and sit at the table for deals which before our journey with Veratlas was simply not possible.
