CelerData announced the successful
completion of its latest security audit conducted by Prescient Assurance, LLC,
and its achievement of System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1
certification. SOC 2 Type 1 is considered the gold standard for data security
and is awarded only to the select few organizations able to pass an extensive
and strict audit conducted in accordance with the requirements set forth by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). As a SOC 2 Type 1
certified organization, CelerData can assure both customers and partners that
it complies with the stringent industry security standards outlined by AICPA's
Trust Service Criteria.
"SOC
2 Type 1 certification is a major milestone for us," said James Li, CEO, CelerData.
"Data security is of critical importance in the analytics industry. It's a key
pillar in every product we build, but it's also just as important when it comes
to how we operate and work with our customers and partners. This certification
is just one more way we're able to show our commitment to data protection and
operational security."
With
its SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, customers who are currently doing business, or
planning to do business, with CelerData can operate confidently knowing that
the company's service commitments and system requirements were both designed
based on the criteria outlined in TSP section 100, 2017 Trust Services Criteria
for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
"This
achievement comes at a critical time for the company," James Li added. "We have
seen amazing growth in the last year when it comes to headcount, customers, and
partnerships. We are collaborating very closely with all of our stakeholders to
keep security at the forefront of how we operate with everyone we work with. We
plan to further strengthen this commitment by acquiring our SOC 2 Type 2
certification in the coming months."
