Stage2Data is excited to announce that we successfully completed the SOC 2 Audit. The audit was conducted by A-LIGN, the leading provider in cybersecurity compliance trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.
Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to protect the personal assets of their potential and existing customers. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.
“This achievement reinforces our commitment to the highest standards of data security and demonstrates our proactive approach to protecting our clients’ critical information,” said Petrus Human, CEO of Stage2Data. “SOC 2 compliance is a testament to the rigorous controls and processes we have in place, and it positions us as a trusted partner in an increasingly security-conscious cloud solutions market.”
The certification highlights key benefits to MGT’s clients and partners, including:
1. Enhanced Trust and Market Reputation
By achieving SOC 2 compliance, we demonstrate that we maintain rigorous data protection practices, instilling confidence in our clients and partners. This helps us stand out when prospective customers require proof of security before engaging with us. This much is clear if you consider that SOC 2 compliance is a key factor for 83% of enterprise clients when selecting vendors.
2. Improved Security Posture
SOC 2 compliance enables us to proactively identify vulnerabilities in our systems and processes, reducing the likelihood of data breaches. In doing so, we minimize the financial and reputational risks often associated with security incidents.
3. Regulatory and Compliance Advantages
Aligning with SOC 2 standards helps us streamline compliance with major frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. This approach lowers our legal risks and reinforces our commitment to responsible data management. SOC 2-certified businesses report 60% fewer compliance-related fines and reduced liability from data breaches.
4. Operational Efficiency
Strengthening our internal controls and processes improves resource management overall. SOC 2 compliance also ensures structured data integrity and availability, bolstering our operational performance.
5. Business Growth
Proving our ability to safeguard sensitive information through SOC 2 compliance opens the door to new partnerships and contracts. This is especially critical in industries like healthcare and finance, where demonstrating robust data security measures significantly elevates our credibility.
This certification will reinforce our continued commitment to compliance and give our customers peace of mind and confidence that the required safeguards are in place to protect their data.
Going forward, Stage2Data will conduct an annual SOC 2 assessment. If you’re interested in viewing our SOC 2 report, please submit your request at https://stage2data.com/contact-us/
