At Cin7, the security and privacy of our customers' data have always been our top priority. Today, we're thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our commitment to safeguarding your information: we have successfully achieved both SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
This achievement goes beyond a certification—it’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to maintaining the highest standards of security. As we continue to innovate and grow, we want you to know that protecting your data remains at the core of everything we do.
What is SOC2 compliance?
SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), sets the gold standard for data security, particularly for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies like Cin7. It is built on five Trust Services Criteria:
- Security: Protecting data from unauthorized access
- Availability: Ensuring systems are available for operation and use
- Processing Integrity: Guaranteeing system processing is complete, accurate, and timely
- Confidentiality: Safeguarding confidential information
- Privacy: Collecting, using, retaining, and disclosing personal information in line with privacy policies
The difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2
- SOC 2 Type 1: Evaluates the design of our security controls at a specific point in time, ensuring we have the necessary systems in place to protect your data.
- SOC 2 Type 2: Assesses the effectiveness of these security controls over an extended period, demonstrating that we don’t just implement security measures—we uphold them consistently.
Achieving both certifications underscores our ongoing commitment to best-in-class data security and operational excellence.
Why SOC2 compliance matters
In an era where cyber threats continue to evolve, securing your data is more critical than ever. SOC 2 compliance provides you, our customers, with the assurance that we are not just talking about security—we are living it every day.
This certification demonstrates our commitment to:
- Protecting your sensitive information from unauthorized access
- Ensuring system reliability and availability when you need it most
- Processing your data with integrity and accuracy
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your business information
- Respecting and protecting individual privacy rights
In short, achieving SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliance is our way of saying, "We've got your back."
