Media, PA (PRWEB) January 26, 2016
Title Alliance, Ltd, a RESPA-compliant ESOP leader in joint ventured title insurance agencies, announced today that it has received a SOC 2 and that Title Alliance and its affiliated have received a SOC 1. The project was spearheaded by Jadah Hill, Regional Director, Kelley Kernicky, IT Manager, and Kim Olshefski, Escrow/Risk Manager all for Title Alliance. In conjunction with the Independent National Risk Rating Credentia l received by the company in July, the most recent security reports prove that Title Alliance continues to make customer security and privacy a priority.
Raja Paranjothi, CISA of Oread Partners LLC, a Kansas City based firm specializing in a risk consulting and attestation practice, performed the audits and issued the reports. The process took approximately 6 months to be completed.
The SOC 2 focuses on business’ system security, confidentiality, availability, privacy, and/or processing integrity across your various systems.
“A SOC 2 report provides assurance to lenders that Title Alliance has proper security controls and procedures in place as it relates to the network, applications and non-public personal information they are managing,” says Paranjothi.
The SOC 1 focuses on the company’s internal controls that impact customers’ internal controls over financial reporting. Final SOC 1 reports provide information on controls at a service organization.
“A SOC 1 report is a significant investment in time and resources for any company,” continues Paranjothi. ”By completing a SOC 1 report, Title Alliance and its Affiliates have provided comfort and confidence to their lenders that they have proper controls in place as it relates to their employment practices, operations and Information Technology for title insurance services they provide.”

“It remains imperative that we focus on our customer and take every precaution to safeguard their information,” says Hill. “Oread Partners came to us as a referral from Marx Sterbcow of Sterbcow Law Group, one of our highly respected RESPA Attorneys. Working with Raja has been a pleasure. He will be a valuable part of our organization staying ahead of the curve in our industry”.
