SOC 2 is a widely known information security auditing procedure created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Third-Party Audits

Our organization undergoes independent third-party assessments to test our security and compliance controls.

Our team members are required to go through employee security awareness training covering industry standard practices and information security topics.

Confidentiality

All team members are required to sign and adhere to an industry standard confidentiality agreement prior to their first day of work.

Background Checks

We perform background checks on all new team members in accordance with local laws.

Cloud Security

Quarterly Access Reviews

We perform quarterly access reviews of all team members with access to sensitive systems.

Password Requirements

All team members are required to adhere to a minimum set of password requirements and complexity for access.

Password Managers

All team members utilize a password manager to manage and maintain password complexity.

Vendor and Risk Management

Annual Risk Assessments

We undergo at least annual risk assessments to identify any potential threats, including considerations for fraud.

Vendor Risk Management

Vendor risk is determined, and appropriate vendor reviews are performed prior to authorizing a new vendor.
