What do data security, trust, and llamas have in common? They’re all related to TiER1’s achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 certification which demonstrates the highest standard of security and data protection compliance for the organization.
Let’s start with data security. Compliance with SOC 2 requirements indicates that an organization maintains a high level of information security. The audit ensures strict compliance to requirements (tested through on-site audits) that help ensure sensitive information is handled responsibly.
Trust is a non-negotiable for us at TiER1 especially when it comes to client relationships. Ensuring that we’re maintaining client data with the highest levels of security impacts that trust. It’s also directly aligned to the certification. The audit and accompanying certification specify how organizations should manage customer data based on five Trust Service Principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. We know this is incredibly important to our clients, particularly in regulated industries like transportation, life sciences, and government.
Lastly, who doesn’t love a llama? At TiER1, we know the value of a great partnership. Vanta, our compliance partner, worked with us to enable a successful third-party audit. And just like their protective llama mascot, they are critical to our ongoing day-to-day vigilance when it comes to compliance and security.
