iProov receives SOC 2 certification

This certification assures that iProov’s system is designed with suitable organizational controls to ensure sensitive information is kept secure in the cloud. To achieve SOC 2 certification, organisations must implement controls on system monitoring, data breach alerts, audit procedures and forensics.

What is SOC 2 Type II?

SOC was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), with SOC 2 Type II certification being the most rigorous of these auditing procedures. SOC 2 is a standard that is subject to an annual accreditation process and assures service providers securely manage non-financial data to protect organisations' interests and their users' privacy.

iProov’s officials stated that every department and process must contribute to their security culture, supported by training and controls. This certification assures their customers, partners, and their users that they are continuously monitoring and implementing robust controls over the company’s security, processing integrity, and privacy practices.
