What is SOC 2 Type II certification?
SOC 2 Type II certification is an important security standard issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates a company's information security policies, procedures, and practices over time. Achieving SOC 2 Type II certification requires an in-depth examination of a company's security controls by an independent auditor.
The audit looked at how SeaRoc Group implements controls related to security, availability, and confidentiality of customer data. It ensures the controls described in our security policies are properly designed and operating as intended. The auditor also tests that the controls remain effective over an extended period, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to security.
The end result of the audit is a SOC 2 Type II report. This report provides assurance that SeaRoc Group meets the strict criteria defined by the AICPA Trust Services Principles. These principles focus on the leading security controls needed to properly protect, manage, and retain sensitive customer information. Obtaining the clean SOC 2 Type II report demonstrates that SeaRoc Group prioritizes maintaining strong information security practices.
