Hopsworks meets SOC2 Type II standards for data security and privacy

After achieving our ISO 27001 certification, we are happy to announce that we have successfully completed our second compliance certification, the AICPA Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit. This achievement confirms that Hopsworks’ information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security.

What is SOC2 Type II?

SOC 2 Type II is an auditing framework used by service organizations to demonstrate that they have effective controls and processes in place to protect the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data.

To obtain SOC 2 Type II compliance, a service organization must undergo an audit by an independent third-party auditor who will evaluate the effectiveness of the organization's controls and processes over a specified period. SOC 2 Type II compliance is important for service organizations that handle sensitive customer data. It provides assurance to customers and other stakeholders that the organization has implemented the necessary controls to safeguard their data and maintain compliance with industry regulations.
