iDenfy, a leading global RegTech company specializing in Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Know Your Business (KYB) verification solutions, has announced its achievement of SOC II certification with the submission of an independent auditor’s report. This milestone confirm iDenfy’s position as a trusted partner in the US market, ensuring that its data handling practices meet rigorous standards of security and confidentiality. The certification coincides with the opening of iDenfy’s new office in Delaware, marking a significant step in the company’s US expansion.

SOC II (System and Organization Controls) is a gold-standard compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates organizations on five key Trust Service Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Specifically designed for service providers managing customer data, SOC II certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented robust processes and controls to safeguard sensitive information.

In the US, SOC II compliance is particularly critical, as data breaches can lead to catastrophic consequences. In 2023 alone, the country reported 3,205 data breaches, affecting over 353 million individuals across various sectors. These alarming figures highlight the importance of SOC II certification as a key differentiator for businesses handling sensitive data, such as identity documents and physical characteristics biometrics.

“Data security is the cornerstone of our business as we handle sensitive information on behalf of our clients, ranging from government-issued IDs to biometric data. SOC II certification, along with our ISO 27001 certification and ETSI TS 119 461 compliance for electronic identification and trust services, reinforces our commitment to safeguarding data with the highest standards.” said Domantas Ciulde, CEO of iDenfy. 

Obtaining a SOC II report is a rigorous process that goes beyond basic compliance. It requires robust internal product development, security improvements, and the establishment of long-lasting practices to ensure the security of customer data as well as signaling to partners that iDenfy has implemented comprehensive measures to protect their information.
