Sunsama Goes Enterprise: Our New Chapter in Compliance and Security

Over the past few years, I've had countless conversations with professionals who love using Sunsama but face a common frustration: they can't get it approved by their IT departments. These conversations often follow a familiar pattern—enthusiasm about how Sunsama has transformed their workday, followed by disappointment when discussing corporate adoption.

The challenge wasn't that Sunsama wasn't valuable enough. The problem was that we hadn't yet built the enterprise-grade security and compliance infrastructure that modern organizations require. This meant talented professionals who wanted to bring better planning practices to their teams were hitting roadblocks—lengthy security questionnaires, complex compliance requirements, or sometimes outright rejections.

Today, that all changes.

Why now

When we started Sunsama, our focus was on building a daily planning tool that would genuinely help individuals work better. We obsessed over the details - how to structure your day, how to integrate with your existing tools, how to create moments of reflection. That foundation has resonated deeply with professionals who care about intentional work.

But as we've grown, we've realized that our vision of transforming how people work can't be fully realized if we're blocked at the enterprise level. For many of our most passionate users, the barrier isn't convincing their colleagues about Sunsama's value - it's getting past their organization's security requirements.

As we look toward 2026, our goal is ambitious but clear: we want Sunsama to become the default task manager for modern professionals. However, this vision requires us to think beyond individual users and address the legitimate security concerns of enterprise organizations.

SOC2 Compliance

I'm excited to announce that we've completed our SOC2 Type I audit, and the report is now available for review. This milestone represents months of careful work to formalize our security practices and demonstrate our commitment to protecting our customers' data.

We haven't stopped there — our SOC2 Type II audit is already in progress. This more rigorous assessment requires auditors to observe our security practices over a three-month period, providing even stronger validation of our security controls. We expect to complete this second phase by the end of the year.

This isn't just about checking boxes. It's about building trust and showing enterprises that we take their security requirements as seriously as we take our product design.

Enterprise SSO

Another crucial piece we've added is SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) support for our Enterprise customers. This feature grew directly from conversations with IT teams who needed centralized control over authentication and access management.

We've ensured compatibility with all major Identity Providers, making it seamless for organizations to integrate Sunsama into their existing security infrastructure. The goal is to make enterprise deployment as frictionless as possible while maintaining robust security standards.

Helping IT say "yes"

We've learned that getting enterprise approval often requires equipping champions with the right information. To make this process easier, we've created comprehensive documentation that addresses common security and compliance questions.

If you're trying to get Sunsama approved at your organization, here's a message you can share with your IT team:

"I'd like to use Sunsama at work. Sunsama is a daily planner and task manager for busy professionals that integrates with calendars, emails, and project management tools. Sunsama publishes details about their security posture along with instructions on how to access SOC2 audit reports and other relevant documents in their help center."

We've made all security documentation easily accessible through our help center, including detailed information about our data handling practices, security controls, and compliance certifications.

Open for business

This journey toward enterprise-readiness reflects a natural evolution in Sunsama's growth. For years, we heard from passionate users who wanted to champion Sunsama within their organizations. But we knew we couldn't properly serve enterprise customers without first building the necessary security infrastructure and dedicating resources to support them properly.

We made a conscious decision to wait until we had built both a sustainable business and a product that genuinely improved how people work. Now, with a strong foundation in place, we're ready to take this next step.

Going forward, I'll be personally managing our relationships with IT and Security teams to make sure they get everything they need to approve Sunsama at your workplace. Certifications, questionnaires, DPAs, MSAs, NDAs—you can send them all my way.

This isn't just about meeting compliance requirements - it's about building lasting partnerships with organizations who share our vision for better work. We're committed to maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance while continuing to innovate on the core experience that makes Sunsama special.

We've always believed that better planning leads to better work and better lives. Now, we're ready to bring that vision to organizations of any size.

Sunsama is officially enterprise-ready.
