Achieving SOC 2 - Type 2 Compliance: What It Means for You

SWARM Engineering announces the completion of its SOC 2 - Type 2 examination, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to data security and regulatory compliance. This achievement underscores SWARM Engineering’s dedication to protecting sensitive information and meeting the highest industry standards.

At SWARM Engineering, keeping customer and stakeholder data secure is our top priority. To ensure that our systems and controls have been designed to achieve that goal, we sought third-party attestation from Insight Assurance, a qualified auditing firm for numerous reputable companies including OpenAI. Our SOC 2 report showcases the results from their comprehensive examination.

What is a SOC 2 Report?

Obtaining a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 report is one way for a service organization to attest to securing its digital environment. Completing a SOC 2 examination through an accredited third-party auditor does not result in any certification. Instead, the resulting CPA’s report serves as a tool for an organization to communicate whether they have properly designed, implemented, and maintained internal controls governing securing customers’, partners’, and stakeholders’ data.

In simpler terms, a SOC 2 report provides an avenue for current and potential stakeholders to assess risk by giving them a closer look at the policies and procedures put in place to ensure the organization’s services are provided safely and reliably.

Why Did We Undergo a SOC 2 Examination?

Completing a SOC 2 examination marks a significant step forward in SWARM Engineering’s efforts to demonstrate our commitment to data security, compliance, and ensure that we’re prepared to face the challenges of the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape.

“We are pleased that our SOC 2 report has validated that we have the appropriate controls, processes, and procedures in place to prevent and mitigate security risks for our customers,” said Michael Robinson, VP Operations & Finance at SWARM Engineering. “This is a big milestone for our growing team, organization, and customer. We know how important data and systems security is to all of our stakeholders, and now we have the validation to back that up.”

The Benefits of Achieving SOC 2 - Type 2 Compliance

Achieving SOC 2 - Type 2 compliance offers many benefits for our organization and stakeholders. It enhances trust with our customers by demonstrating our commitment to data security, strengthens our data protection posture, and ensures we are well-equipped to manage and mitigate risks effectively. This compliance not only fortifies SWARM Engineering’s reputation but also assures our clients that their data is handled with the utmost care and integrity.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Insight Assurance for their thorough evaluation and validation of our compliance efforts. Their expertise and impartial assessment have been instrumental in verifying our adherence to the SOC 2 framework. Their support has been invaluable in helping us navigate the complexities of the compliance process.

As we continue to prioritize data security and regulatory compliance, we remain steadfast in our commitment to upholding the highest standards of excellence in all aspects of our operations. This achievement is just one step in our ongoing journey towards greater security and compliance, and we are excited to continue building on this foundation.
