What is SOC 2 certification?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a widely recognized certification that evaluates a company’s security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the SOC 2 framework is designed to assess the effectiveness of an organization’s systems and processes in managing and protecting customer data. Achieving SOC 2 compliance is a rigorous process that involves comprehensive audits and assessments conducted by independent third-party auditors.
Why should you care that ARMO is now SOC 2 certified?
Obtaining the SOC 2 certification is a significant milestone for ARMO, as it assures our customers and users that the company adheres to the highest security and privacy standards. This certification demonstrates ARMO’s ongoing commitment to protecting customer data and maintaining the integrity of its cloud workload protection platform.
As Shauli Rozen, ARMO’s co-founder and CEO, puts it:
“Aligning ourselves with the well respected SOC 2 framework at such an early stage of the company shows that not only are we supporting other companies in achieving a high level of security, but that we hold ourselves to the same high standards.”
