Anyone Using Slate CRM?

We are looking at migrating to Slate for our student CRM and I was curious if anyone else on this list is using Slate 
at your school?  We've received the HECVAT and AWS SOC2 report, but the HECVAT noted that they have no CISO, security 
engineers, security analysts or security operations center.  Technolutions (the creators of Slate) confirmed their CIO 
is their security team.  My concern is that they don't have anyone reviewing security events to detect data breaches or 
system compromises.  Since we are evaluating using Slate to store highly sensitive data such as SSNs and Driver's 
License numbers, I'm hesitant to approve purchasing their product.  I'm curious how any of you all would have mitigated 
that risk if you use Slate.

Thanks for your help!
