The SOC 2 examination was administered by the professional IT assurance and compliance staff, at 360 Advanced, a respected national Qualified Security Assessor, HITRUST CSF Assessor and CPA firm, based in St. Petersburg, Florida. 360 Advanced has clients in 30 U.S. states, Europe, South and Central America and the Pacific Rim.
SOC 2 Type 1 standards
As the security landscape is changing, it is becoming more important to be audited by outside, credentialed compliance specialists"
The SOC 2 Type 1 standards, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is the most widely recognised authoritative guidance, which provides service organisations a uniform method for disclosing independently-assessed information, about the design and operation of internal controls.
“As the security landscape is changing, it is becoming more important to be audited by outside, credentialed compliance specialists. Earning SOC 2 really proves to our customers that our security programme has been evaluated, audited and approved by a credentialed third party,” commented Manish Haria, Vice President, CISO and CIO of Johnson & Quin.
Data security compliance standards
Manish Haria adds, “Data security compliance standards are becoming more and more demanding, and we want to make certain that we are ahead of the curve. Also, this does give us a competitive advantage, as a differentiator from other firms in our industry, who have not achieved this IT security and compliance designation.”
“We work with numerous companies in the financial services and insurance industries, and it is very important that we have the documentation to prove to them that we are handling their data and their printing materials in a secure fashion,” said Kay Wilt, Director of Marketing at Johnson & Quin.
