SOC 2 Type II Certified

SOC 2 Type II Certified

🛡️SOC 2 Type II Certified

We are ringing in 2022 with our SOC 2 Type II (2) certification!

We continue to be committed to our own privacy, governance, and security as our first priority to protect our customers.

How is this different from SOC 2 Type I?

  • Although SOC 2 Type I has it's benefits, it pales in comparison to SOC 2 Type 2.
  • A SOC 2 Type 2 requires companies to show an attestation of controls over a minimum 6 month period.
  • Whereas SOC 2 Type 1 is only an attestation of controls at a specific point in time.
  • SOC 2 Type 2 vendors continuously validate against tough security protocols and controls they remain compliant.

How did we achieved SOC 2 Type II

A large part of this success is with partnering with Secureframe, the best SOC 2 automation platform.

They integrate with our infrastructure and continuously scan and monitor our systems in addition to ensure any vendor we use is secure and compliant.

More details covered in our full customer case study with Secureframe.
