What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 compliance is widely considered a key indicator of a commitment to the privacy and security of customer data.

Why Does SOC 2 Compliance Matter?

As cybersecurity vulnerabilities, exploits, and attacks continue to increase, obtaining SOC 2 compliance has never been more important. SOC 2 compliance isn’t just nice to have, it is a necessary validation of our commitment to the highest standards of data security. Meeting the requirements signifies NetRise has made a concerted effort to handle customer data safely and responsibly.

What Does a SOC 2 Type II Audit Entail?

Countless tests are undertaken to ensure the seamless implementation and operating effectiveness of our internal controls. These tests are designed to test not only our security at one point in time, but also over a time period considered long enough to provide adequate assurance of compliance.
