We’re excited to share that Appfire has received its most recent SOC 2, Type II audit report — with zero exceptions — demonstrating our ongoing dedication to security, privacy and compliance. At Appfire, upholding robust data security and compliance practices is a core priority. From day one, we have made securing our technology a top focus, and we remain dedicated to this approach as both technology and cyber threats continue to evolve. This latest report acknowledges that Appfire’s processes, systems, and controls fully align with SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) standards without any identified deficiencies or gaps.

Appfire first received SOC 2, Type II certification in 2024, supplementing a series of other internationally recognized data security certifications, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and ISO 27017 and SOC 2, Type 1. Additionally, in 2022 Appfire launched its award-winning Trust Center to connect customers, partners, and prospects to the latest information on the security, privacy, and compliance of Appfire’s products and services.

How is the audit completed?

The SOC 2, Type II audit looks for evidence that a company is strongly committed to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by having the necessary internal controls and processes in place, covering an entire year.

The auditing process takes 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, therefore demanding an ongoing commitment to security practices and continuous improvement.

What does this mean for our customers?

For Appfire’s customers, achieving SOC 2, Type II certification brings a host of assurances and benefits regarding the security and availability of their data. The audit confirms that Appfire has implemented and maintains strong, effective controls designed to protect sensitive customer data. These controls ensure that the necessary measures are in place to guard against data breaches. The rigorous audit process, aligned with industry-recognized standards, fosters trust among customers, especially those in highly regulated industries.

The SOC 2, Type II certification also reflects Appfire's ongoing commitment to transparency in security and availability practices. It demonstrates continuous monitoring and improvement, ensuring that these controls will remain effective in safeguarding customer data over time. For customers evaluating potential vendors, SOC 2, Type II certification is an important factor in the decision-making process, offering assurance that the vendor maintains strong security and availability practices.
