We’ve done it again. DataGroomr has successfully completed its annual SOC 2 Type II audit, reaffirming our commitment to keeping your data secure. This repeat achievement reflects our continued focus on maintaining the highest standards of trust, security, and operational excellence.
Protecting your data with industry-standard compliance
Earning SOC 2 is part of DataGroomr’s promise to be uncompromisingly serious about keeping customer data safe. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 is validated by a rigorous evaluation and audit process which confirms that all required infrastructure components, security measures, and processes are in place. The compliance guidelines set by the AICPA ensure services are secure, available, and confidential and that information security best practices are in place.
Steve Pogrebivky, DataGroomr’s CEO, explains why SOC 2 compliance is important and how it benefits our customers: “The decision to pursue SOC 2 compliance was driven by our commitment and our responsibility to protect our customers’ data. SOC 2 is a gold standard for data security and privacy that aligns perfectly with our security strategy. It assures our customers that we are operating in accordance with the highest standards for data protection.”
Prescient Security, an independent vendor for SOC Certification, performed this year’s audit. To qualify for the certification, they reviewed DataGroomr’s information security mechanisms, guidelines, and procedures to ensure they meet the exacting standards based on the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) set AICPA. Their attestation serves as a third-party industry validation that DataGroomr provides enterprise-level security for our customer’s data.
Security is an ongoing promise
SOC 2 compliance is an ongoing, annual process. Companies must undergo a new audit each year to maintain their status.
Getting this stamp of cybersecurity approval is no walk in the park. Unlike ISO 27001 or similar standards, SOC 2 is unique to our organization and assesses the effectiveness of our controls over time. To qualify, we need to prove we are committed to maintaining the highest degree of cybersecurity standards on an ongoing basis.
We are committed to dedicating time, effort and resources to ensure that we handle your data to the best of our abilities and to conform to world-class industry standards. Ben Novoselsky, DataGroomr’s CTO emphasizes, “Maintaining SOC2 compliance is an ongoing commitment. We plan to continue our regular audits, constantly update our security practices, and stay ahead of evolving threats. Additionally, we’re always exploring advanced security technologies and methodologies to further enhance our security posture.”
Why SOC 2 matters for you
SOC 2 is a widely recognized security standard that specifies how organizations should manage customer data. A SOC 2 report is often the primary document that security departments rely on to assess a vendor’s ability to maintain adequate security. A SOC 2 Type II report details the operational effectiveness of those systems controls to perform as designed over a specified period of time. SOC 2 reports, particularly Type II reports, provide independent assurance to stakeholders that an organization has implemented effective controls in these areas.
Steve Pogrebivky notes, “Achieving SOC 2 compliance has a significant positive impact on our customers. It provides them with the assurance that their data is handled securely and in compliance with the strictest standards. This trust is fundamental, especially when dealing with sensitive customer data and global enterprise organizations.”
