Terrapin Technologies Achieves SOC 2 Type II Data Center Compliance
DE PERE, Wis. (PRWEB) December 05, 2017 -- Terrapin Technologies, a data, software and consulting services provider for the financial services industry, has successfully completed a Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II examination, performed by Assure Professional - a leading cybersecurity, assurance and compliance solutions provider. Terrapin Technologies’ broker-dealer data management system is SOC 2 Type II compliant, by the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
“Our company applauds Terrapin Technologies for showing its commitment to their clients by meeting SOC 2 Type II standards for data security,” said William Holman, Assure Professional Audit & Accounting Partner.
Created for entities operating in the booming technology and cloud computing sector, SOC 2 Type II compliance has become the gold standard in data security compliance. In pursuit of this industry-leading certification, organizations undergo a rigorous analysis that can include the five Trust Services Principles (TSP): security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.
SOC 2 Type II compliance is determined by tests and reports conducted by an independent auditor, on the structure and operational soundness of a service organization’s controls, over a period of six months to a year. The review is specific to IT and data center service providers. The audit accounts for the system of the data center, and the suitability of its design of controls, as reported by the company. The audit also includes verification of an auditor’s opinion on the operating effectiveness of the controls.
Terrapin Technologies successfully performed the SOC 2 Type II audit against security and availability, proving they are taking appropriate measures to assure its systems are protected against unauthorized access. The comprehensive report examines multiple controls over the security and availability of its hosting services.
“Assure Professional has been a great partner for Terrapin Technologies,” said Kristefor Lysne, owner and president of Terrapin Technologies. “Their level of service is exceptional, as is their expertise in SOC compliance."
