Increasingly, clients are entrusting Bronson with the hosting and management of their organizational data. That data is of the upmost importance to client success; it must be secure, always available to them and its integrity maintained. Thus, Bronson is investing in operational information controls to achieve compliance with the System and Organization Controls Type 2 (SOC 2) standard to assure clients that their data is properly managed.
SOC 2 certification demonstrates a service organization’s information systems securely manage data to protect the interests of its clients and the privacy of its client’s data. SOC 2 examines a service organization’s controls based on five Trust Service Principles – Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity and Privacy. To achieve SOC 2 compliance, a service organization must demonstrate to an independent auditor that it has implemented policies and procedures to manage information according to the relevant structured principles and that the controls have been operationally effective over a 9-to-12-month period.
