Now, let's dive into what SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications mean.
What Are SOC 2 Type II & ISO 27001 Certifications?
SOC 2 Type II
SOC 2 Type II certification is based on the Trust Services Criteria created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It focuses on controls related to a system's security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Custodia's recertification evaluated its security controls for at least six months, focusing on meeting Trust Services Criteria. To achieve Type II, Custodia established and documented strong controls, demonstrated continuous effectiveness through testing, and passed a thorough audit by an independent certified public accountant (CPA).
This independent attestation proves Custodia's long-term commitment to consistent security and privacy practices.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) to ensure secure data handling and protection.
Custodia achieved ISO 27001 certification by developing a robust ISMS, assessing and mitigating risks, and training all employees. It passed internal and external audits, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to information security through continuous monitoring and improvement.
Achieving ISO 27001 shows that Custodia prioritizes stringent security measures to protect processed data from unauthorized access or breaches.
