Our Commitment To Security And Compliance With SOC2 Type 2

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 reviews 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.

How This Benefits Our Customers

At Protobots, we prioritize security and compliance, embedding them into our infrastructure from the ground up. Our SOC 2 compliance fortifies trust with our customers and their vendors, ensuring secure collaboration. In essence, we're committed to providing a robust, secure, and trustworthy environment for all our customers.

Balancing Security and Compliance:

Our commitment to enhancing our security posture goes hand in hand with our dedication to compliance. Rather than viewing these two aspects separately, we see them as two sides of the same coin, both crucial in providing a secure environment for our customers' proprietary processes.

This dual focus means that we are not just meeting standard requirements but striving to exceed them, offering an additional layer of protection for our customers' valuable data and processes. In essence, we are both secure and compliant, ensuring that we provide a robust and trustworthy environment for all our customers.

Comprehensive Security from the Ground Up:

Our decision to implement security policies from the earliest stages has allowed us to weave security into the very fabric of our infrastructure. This means that whether our customers are engaging in simple interactions or undertaking massive integrations with Protobots, they can rest assured that their proprietary processes are protected.

This early and comprehensive implementation of security measures benefits our customers by providing robust protection, regardless of the size of their operation, reducing the risk of security breaches from the outset.

Securing Trust in Business Relationships:

Our achievement of SOC 2 compliance not only strengthens our security but also fortifies the trust between us and our customers, as well as their vendors. When a business engages a vendor, it's crucial that the vendor can trust the business with sensitive information. Our SOC 2 compliance serves as a testament to our commitment to that trust.

Vendor security reviews are often a critical part of business relationships, and our SOC 2 compliance assures both our customers and their vendors that we take this relationship seriously. By proactively mitigating risk, we not only protect our business but also safeguard the interests of our customers and their vendors, fostering a secure and trustworthy business environment.

Promoting Secure Collaboration with Protobots:

Our approach to compliance and security is designed to provide peace of mind to our customers when they share their work done on Protobots. Whether it's with coworkers, vendors, or other third parties, we understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of their proprietary processes.

Our comprehensive security measures and adherence to procedures ensure that our customers can safely share their work, knowing that it's protected within a secure environment. This commitment to security and compliance underscores our dedication to safeguarding our customers' valuable data and processes, allowing them to collaborate with confidence.

Protobots’ Journey To SOC 2 Compliance

We partnered with Vanta, the leader in the Trust Management space, to help us automate the collection of our audit evidence. Vanta provides us with the strongest security foundation to protect our customer data.

Our audit firm, Advantage Partners, was extremely helpful in creating a seamless audit experience. With their guidance and support, we were able to achieve SOC 2 compliance in a swift, efficient manner.

While SOC 2 can be a big undertaking, our compliance partners streamlined the process. We leveraged Vanta to integrate our key systems and guide us in implementing policies and procedures to quickly become audit ready. Vanta gave us the direction we needed to pursue our compliance journey.

Advantage Partners then confirmed our audit readiness and we kicked off our Type II audit. For the audit, Advantage evaluated the controls we have in place. Once completed, the audit report was completed, submitted, and accepted.

Conclusion

We are thrilled to announce that Protobots has achieved SOC 2 compliance, a testament to our unwavering commitment to ensuring the security and protection of our customers' data and proprietary processes. In an era of escalating cybersecurity threats and data breaches, it is more important than ever for organizations like ours to prioritize information security and the safeguarding of our systems and data.

Our journey to SOC 2 compliance involved a rigorous audit by a third-party, validating our controls and processes. This independent attestation confirms the effectiveness of the controls relevant to our application, providing an additional layer of assurance to our customers.

In conclusion, achieving SOC 2 compliance is more than just a milestone for us. It represents our dedication to providing a secure and trustworthy environment for our customers. We are committed to protecting your proprietary processes and ensuring that you can trust us with your business.
