What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 compliance is a comprehensive framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to assess and report on the controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a service organization's systems. It provides assurance to customers and stakeholders that an organization's systems are designed to protect sensitive data and maintain the integrity of its operations.

Components of SOC 2 Compliance

• Security: SOC 2 requires organizations to implement measures to protect against unauthorized access, cyber threats, and data breaches. This includes implementing firewalls, encryption, access controls, and intrusion detection systems.
• Availability: Organizations must ensure that their systems and services are consistently available for operation and use. This involves implementing redundancy, failover mechanisms, and disaster recovery plans to minimize downtime.
• Processing Integrity: SOC 2 mandates organizations to maintain the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of data processing. This includes implementing validation checks, error handling procedures, and data reconciliation processes.
• Confidentiality: Organizations must safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure. This includes implementing data encryption, access controls, and data masking techniques to protect confidential data.
• Privacy: SOC 2 requires organizations to protect personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. This involves implementing privacy policies, data retention policies, and procedures for handling customer data.

The SOC 2 Type II audit conducted by Sensiba LLP involved a rigorous examination of HiPeople's systems, processes, and controls to ensure compliance with the SOC 2 criteria. Sensiba LLP assessed the design and operational effectiveness of our security measures over a specified period, validating our commitment to information security and privacy.

We are pleased to report that HiPeople's SOC 2 Type II report received a "clean" audit opinion from Sensiba LLP. This means that our systems and controls met all applicable trust services criteria without any noted exceptions or deficiencies. It demonstrates our dedication to maintaining robust security measures and protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers' data.
