SAN MARCOS, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LabArchives, provider of a suite of SaaS applications dedicated to better science, today announced completion of its SOC 2 Type II audit, performed by KirkpatrickPrice. This attestation provides evidence that LabArchives has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating that they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
A SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization's information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA. During the audit, a service organization's non-financial reporting controls are tested for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy as appropriate to a technology business storing customer data in the cloud. SOC 2 compliance requires both a technical audit and comprehensive information security policies and procedures. The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of LabArchives' controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
The report shows LabArchives has an established framework for internal controls that facilitates accountability and a commitment to security.
"LabArchives believes that the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data stored in our products is core to delivering a trusted Electronic Lab Notebook for researchers and instructors." said Daniel Ayala, LabArchives' Chief Information Security Officer. "The successful completion of a SOC 2 audit for Notebook conveys our commitment of security to current and future customers and users."
Details about LabArchives SOC 2 are available on http://www.labarchives.com/security-compliance/. These include the SOC 3 report and explanations of the concepts and processes of the four trust principles the SOC 2 Type2 certification covers. Different than a one-time audit, the SOC 2 Type 2 audit is conducted over a period of time, and is to be repeated annually.
"The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria," said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. "LabArchives delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on LabArchives' controls."
