Bird Eats Bug receives a SOC 2 Type I report with no exceptions

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is a standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that sets forth criteria for how service organizations must manage their information security concerning the five trust services criteria: security, confidentiality, availability, process integrity, and privacy. An independent third party conducts the audit itself (in our case, the audit was carried out by Prescient Assurance). It assesses whether an organization or company has adequate controls in place to protect the security, availability, and confidentiality of its systems and data.

Why SOC 2 matters to our customers

We know that our customers entrust us with a lot of sensitive data, so completing this audit was our top priority. Earning the SOC 2 designation demonstrates our commitment to data security and gives our customers the peace of mind that comes with knowing their information is safe with us. In fact, many of our customers require SOC 2 compliance as part of their own internal security requirements. 

The audit process was rigorous, and earning a SOC 2 audit report is no small feat, but we’re so proud of our team for successfully completing the audit with no exceptions! Finally, we want to thank our customers for entrusting us with their data—this designation is a testament to our commitment to keeping our customers’ data safe and secure.
