Outset Is Now SOC 2® Compliant
Here at Outset, we’re passionate about security and compliance because it can improve internal processes, prevent costly security incidents, build customer trust, and unlock business growth.
That’s why we recently completed our System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 TYPE I examination.
What is SOC 2 compliance?
SOC 2 is a security framework that outlines standards for safeguarding customer data. To achieve SOC 2 compliance, organizations must pass a third-party audit.
The SOC 2 audit is one the highest recognized standards of information security compliance in the world. It was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to allow a third-party auditor to validate a service company’s internal controls with respect to information security.
Our SOC 2 attestation report is the auditor’s opinion on the suitability of the design of our organization’s security controls relevant to security.
Why is SOC 2 compliance important?
In today’s age of growing cyber threats, earning and keeping customer trust is essential.
Our prospects, customers, and business partners want proof that our organization has sufficient data protection controls in place to protect their sensitive data. SOC 2 compliance can offer that assurance.
SOC 2 requirements help our company establish airtight internal security controls. This lays a foundation of security policies and processes that can help us scale securely.
How we achieved SOC 2 compliance
We obtained our SOC 2 report by partnering with Secureframe and Modern Assurance, who respectively helped us prepare for and review our internal controls including policies, procedures, and infrastructure regarding data security, firewall configurations, change management, logical access, backup management, business continuity and disaster recovery, security incident response, and other critical areas of our business.
We are continuing to partner with Secureframe to drive our continuous compliance strategy. This will enable us to continually improve our information security program and retain an annual SOC 2 audit to ensure we keep supporting our customers’ needs.
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 certification is a significant milestone for Outset, underscoring our commitment to the highest standards of security and compliance,” said Daren Lauda, CEO of Outset. “This accomplishment reflects our dedication to protecting our clients’ data with the utmost care and integrity. We are grateful to Modern Assurance for their thorough and professional audit process, which has validated the robust security measures we have implemented across our platform.”
We believe the relationship with our customers must be built on trust. The successful completion
of our SOC 2 report is one of many ways that we have planned to earn and retain that trust. We
are committed to continually improving our information security program and retaining an annual
SOC 2 audit to ensure we keep supporting our customers’ needs.
