Konverso is very proud to announce that it achieved in November 2023 SOC2 Type II certification.
In the ever-evolving landscape of data security and privacy, businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of implementing robust measures to protect sensitive information. With many organizational departments keen to embrace and experiment with generative AI, security leaders must look to adopt technologies, strategies and skills that can enable managed, secure access. One significant benchmark in this regard is SOC 2 TYPE II certification, a framework designed to ensure that companies handle customer data with the utmost care and security.
Understanding SOC 2 TYPE II Certification
SOC 2 TYPE II, short for Service Organization Control 2, is a set of standards developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to guide companies in securely managing and protecting customer data. Unlike other cybersecurity standards that focus solely on technical aspects, SOC 2 TYPE II encompasses both technological and procedural elements, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to data security. The primary purpose of SOC 2 TYPE II is to ensure that third-party service providers store and process client data in a secure manner.
SOC 2 TYPE II compliance is centred around five key trust service criteria, often referred to as the "Trust Service Criteria." These include:
- Security: The system is protected against unauthorized access (both physical and logical).
- Availability: The system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
- Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized.
- Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed.
- Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of in conformity with the commitments in the entity’s privacy notice.
