We’re excited to announce that Credit Benchmark has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, marking another milestone in our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of security for customers data.
What is SOC 2 Type 2?
SOC 2 Type 2 is the gold standard for security compliance in the technology industry. Unlike Type 1 certification, which provides a snapshot of security controls at a single point in time, Type 2 certification verifies that we’ve successfully maintained rigorous security practices over an extended period. This certification is awarded by independent auditors who assess companies based on the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria.
The audit examines five key areas:
- Security: Protection against unauthorized access
- Availability: System uptime and reliability
- Processing Integrity: Data processing accuracy and timeliness
- Confidentiality: Protection of sensitive information
- Privacy: Proper handling of personal data
