Coherence Earns SOC 2 Type I Compliance: Trustworthy Development in your Cloud Account

Coherence achieves SOC2 Type I Compliance
September 19, 2023

In today's digital age, cloud development is pivotal for most software enabled businesses. As companies increasingly rely on cloud services, trust and security become paramount, especially for regulated industries. SOC2 compliance, a recognized standard for evaluating service providers' security and privacy practices, helps ensure this trust. We’re excited to announce that Coherence has achieved SOC2 Type I compliance, and is currently in the 6-month audit window for Type II compliance.

What is SOC 2 & Why is it important?

SOC 2 or Service Organization Controls 2 is a framework that is governed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). With a SOC 2 audit, an independent service auditor will review an organization’s policies, procedures, and evidence to determine if their controls are designed and operating effectively. A SOC 2 report communicates a company’s commitment to data security and protection of customer information.  

Improving Your Security Posture 

SOC 2 compliance exemplifies an organization’s commitment to their customer’s trust and is a major milestone towards improving their overall security posture. With increasing cybersecurity threats and data breaches, it is paramount that organizations prioritize information security and the protection of their systems and data. By undergoing a SOC 2 audit, our controls and processes were validated by a third-party who attests to the functioning of the controls relevant to our application. 

Coherence's Commitment to Data Security
