Customer Data Privacy, Security and Confidentiality is our # 1 priority. And SOC2 is foundational to our mission to give customers confidence that their data is being managed securely and responsibly.
Here are 10 reasons why it benefits our customers
- Trust and Confidence in Data Security
- Benefit: Customers can trust that their data is being handled securely, with robust controls in place to protect sensitive information. SOC 2 Type 2 assesses an organization’s controls over a period (usually 6-12 months), ensuring that security practices are not just in place but consistently followed over time.
- Why It Matters: In an era where data breaches and cyberattacks are common, customers need assurance that their data is safe with third-party vendors. SOC 2 Type 2 certification demonstrates that the company adheres to strict standards for security and privacy.
- Continuous Monitoring and Compliance
- Benefit: SOC 2 Type 2 requires ongoing operational effectiveness of controls, meaning customers benefit from a company that continuously monitors its systems and processes for potential vulnerabilities and compliance risks.
- Why It Matters: Instead of a one-time audit (like SOC 2 Type 1), the Type 2 report covers a period, ensuring continuous and proactive monitoring of security practices, which provides more confidence in the long-term reliability of the service.
- Reduced Risk for Customers
- Benefit: Engaging with a SOC 2 Type 2-certified provider minimizes the risk of data loss, unauthorized access, and security incidents.
- Why It Matters: Customers can avoid the reputational damage, financial losses, and legal consequences that can result from a data breach or failure to comply with security and privacy regulations.
- Regulatory and Legal Compliance
- Benefit: SOC 2 Type 2 certification helps customers meet their own regulatory and legal compliance obligations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, and others). When customers choose SOC 2 Type 2-certified vendors, they are working with a provider that already aligns with widely accepted standards for security and privacy.
- Why It Matters: Customers in industries like healthcare, finance, and e-commerce often have strict compliance requirements. Working with a SOC 2 Type 2-certified vendor helps them meet those requirements more easily.
- Improved Vendor Due Diligence
- Benefit: SOC 2 Type 2 reports provide detailed information about the effectiveness of the provider’s security controls, making it easier for customers to perform vendor due diligence. It can save time in vetting and onboarding new vendors.
- Why It Matters: Customers must evaluate third-party vendors for security and risk, especially if the vendor handles sensitive or regulated data. A SOC 2 Type 2 certification simplifies this process by providing a comprehensive report that meets many standard due diligence requirements.
- Enhanced Service Availability and Reliability
- Benefit: SOC 2 Type 2 assesses not only security but also availability and processing integrity. Customers benefit from better service reliability, uptime, and performance.
- Why It Matters: For customers, consistent availability of services is critical. SOC 2 Type 2 certification indicates that the vendor has controls in place to ensure system availability and performance, reducing the risk of outages or service disruptions.
- Data Privacy Protection
- Benefit: SOC 2 Type 2 includes criteria for how customer data is managed and protected, ensuring data privacy standards are upheld.
- Why It Matters: Customers benefit from knowing their personal or sensitive data is stored and processed in a manner that meets privacy standards, giving them peace of mind that their information will not be misused or exposed.
- Competitive Advantage
- Benefit: Customers can leverage their relationship with a SOC 2 Type 2-certified provider as a selling point to their own clients or stakeholders, particularly in industries where data security and compliance are crucial.
- Why It Matters: In competitive industries, choosing vendors with SOC 2 Type 2 certification can enhance a customer’s credibility and trustworthiness, making them more attractive to their own clients.
- Incident Response and Mitigation
- Benefit: SOC 2 Type 2 certification often includes rigorous incident response protocols. This ensures that in the event of a breach or issue, the provider has the right processes in place to respond quickly and mitigate any damage.
- Why It Matters: Quick and effective incident response can greatly reduce the impact of a security incident on customers, preventing data loss or minimizing downtime.
- Reduced Audit Fatigue
- Benefit: By working with a SOC 2 Type 2-certified vendor, customers may experience reduced audit requests or inquiries, as the certification can satisfy many audit requirements.
- Why It Matters: Companies dealing with multiple vendors may be subject to numerous audits. SOC 2 Type 2 certification can streamline this process, making it easier for customers to verify their vendor’s compliance and security practices without needing their own intensive audits.
In summary, SOC 2 Type 2 certification provides our customers with greater assurance regarding security, compliance, and operational excellence, helping reduce risk, enhance trust, and improve vendor relationships.
Of course, SOC2 is the beginning in our commitment to data security. Stay tuned!
