Appfire is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data security and compliance. We have prioritized the security of our technology since Appfire’s inception, and continue to do so as technology and cyber threats become more advanced.
Over the years, this commitment has ensured the receipt of a series of internationally recognized data security certifications, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001, ISO 27017 and System and Organization Controls (SOC) SOC 2, Type 1.
We also established our award-winning Appfire Trust Center with the goal of connecting customers, partners, and prospects to the latest information on the security, privacy, and compliance of our products and services.
It’s only fitting that on the heels of Data Privacy Week, we received our latest recognition: the SOC 2, Type II certification.
What is the SOC 2, Type II certification?
The SOC 2, Type II certification is the result of an audit that provides evidence that a company has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
The comprehensive auditing process takes place over several months, and requires the review of all products, data center providers, and facilities. This includes control implementation, documentation, risk assessments, testing, on-site audits, evidence collection, and control validation.
The audit is completed on a recurring basis to ensure that Appfire maintains a high level of security and availability. This demands an ongoing commitment to security practices and continuous improvement.
Why is this certification a big deal?
Not only is the SOC 2, Type II audit a significant undertaking, but it further demonstrates to customers, prospects, partners, and employees that Appfire takes data security and availability seriously.
What does this mean for Appfire’s customers?
A SOC 2, Type II certification provides several assurances and benefits to customers when it comes to the security and availability of their data. These include:
- Reduced onboarding complexity by aligning with our customers’ security and availability requirements across our entire app portfolio.
- Proven protection that maintains effective controls to secure sensitive customer data, and shields their information against unauthorized breaches.
