Why CapLinked Wins
- Fortune 1000 Proven at Scale
- Broader Compliance Coverage
FirmRoom is SOC 2 certified and hosted on AWS with AES-256 encryption — a solid baseline. CapLinked is additionally compliant with ISO 27001, HIPAA, FISMA, and PCI, making it the stronger choice for regulated industries, US government contractors, and organizations that require more than SOC 2 alone.
- Dedicated Enterprise Support
FirmRoom offers standard platform support but does not feature dedicated customer success managers for complex deal management. CapLinked provides dedicated success managers, customized onboarding, and concierge support for enterprise clients — ensuring expert guidance at every stage of the transaction.
