Semine has now been SOC 2 Type II certified. This certification provides our customers with the assurance that their data is handled in accordance with the highest standards of security and privacy.

While the certification itself is new, we have always adhered to the strict principles upon which SOC 2 Type II is based. This SOC 2 Type II certification is an important recognition of our commitment to data security and integrity, ensuring that we meet stringent standards for handling and securing customer data. This is particularly significant for businesses that store and process sensitive information, such as SaaS providers like Semine.

 

What is SOC 2 Type II Certification?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to ensure that service providers follow best practices for data management. The certification covers five key principles of data security: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 Type II gives customers confidence that their data is being handled in accordance with strict security protocols, including measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

 

SOC 2 Certification Types

  • Type I: Evaluates the design of security controls at a specific point in time.
  • Type II: Assesses how effectively these controls operate over time. The Type II certification requires an annual audit to confirm that security measures are working in practice.

Semine’s Commitment to SOC 2 Type II Principles

While the SOC 2 Type II certification is new for Semine, the principles behind it have always been an integral part of our approach to security. This certification formalizes the security measures we already had in place to protect customer data and provides independent confirmation that Semine follows best practices in data security.
