SOC 2 Certification: Cardata’s Data Security Safeguard 

Introduction

Data security today isn’t just a priority – it’s a necessity. Digital threats of data breaches are on the rise, this includes unauthorized access, and vulnerabilities, so businesses must ensure their customer data is well-protected. 

At Cardata, security has always been a cornerstone of their software products and solutions. A prime example of their commitment to safeguarding your information is their SOC 2 certification. 

“Our data security compliance designation speaks to our commitment to your privacy and well-being,” says Amy Molyneux, former VP of Product and Engineering at Cardata. “It’s our way of ensuring top-notch service and your peace of mind when using our software.”

What is a SOC 2 certification

SOC 2, or Service Organization Control 2, is at the crux of the security compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This certification is a gold standard for data security, particularly for SaaS (software as a service) companies and service providers, like Cardata, who handle sensitive data. 

The SOC 2 audit evaluates an organization’s internal controls across all their different trust service principles, including but not limited to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and data privacy, etc.  

Cardata’s SOC 2 certification just highlights their rigorous security standards, demonstrating their commitment to securing and protecting customer data, all while maintaining robust security controls. By achieving this certification, Cardata assures theirs customers that all of their existing internal controls are not only in place but are also continually monitored, reviewed, and improved – never down time.

Why SOC 2 matters for Cardata

For Cardata, SOC 2 compliance is more than just a term that’s thrown around, it’s an industry standard, a must-have, a fundamental aspect of their mission to protect your data. The certification means that their organization’s controls are designed to prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and other security incidents. This dedication to data protection helps Cardata build and maintain customer trust, making sure that your personal data remains safe and secure at all times.

With SOC 2, stakeholders can have confidence that Cardata’s security measures meet the highest standards, and that they’re providing a solid defense against potential cybersecurity threats, which are becoming more sophisticated as time goes on.

SOC 2 for SaaS companies

In the SaaS industry, where sensitive data is constantly being handled, processed, stored, and transmitted, adhering to security standards like SOC 2 is super important. The certification not only says to the public that a company’s security posture is strong but that it’s also committed to maintaining it through continuous monitoring and improvement.

SOC 2 compliance is crucial for building customer trust and ensuring that data privacy and protection are prioritized. For SaaS companies, this is particularly important as they often handle large volumes of personal data. By achieving SOC 2 certification, Cardata shows our customers that we are serious about protecting their data, complying with regulatory requirements like GDPR, and preventing unauthorized access.

Their commitment to regulatory compliance and robust security is pretty rock-solid, and they’re always looking for new ways to protect their customers’ sensitive data.
