Stage2Data SOC 2 Accreditation Coming in 2025

We’re excited to share that Stage2Data is actively working towards SOC 2 accreditation, a certification that reflects our commitment to data security and operational integrity. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 compliance evaluates companies against five Trust Services Criteria:

  1. Security: Prevents unauthorized access to systems and data.
  2. Availability: Ensures systems remain operational as expected.
  3. Processing Integrity: Verifies that processing is accurate and complete.
  4. Confidentiality: Protects sensitive information according to agreements.
  5. Privacy: Manages personal data in line with defined policies.

For cloud solutions providers like us, SOC 2 compliance isn’t just a certification – it’s a vital benchmark for earning client trust and meeting industry expectations. Achieving SOC 2 compliance also means maintaining ongoing security reviews and adapting to evolving challenges.

The certification process so far involved thorough audits by independent third-party experts to assess our controls and address any gaps. By pursuing this accreditation, we’re solidifying our role as a trusted partner in providing secure, reliable cloud solutions for your business.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress.
