iProov, the world leader in face biometric verification and authentication technology, announced today that it has been certified to SOC (System and Organization Controls) 2 Type II. This certification assures that iProov’s system is designed with suitable organizational controls to ensure sensitive information is kept secure in the cloud. To achieve SOC 2 certification, organizations must implement controls on system monitoring, data breach alerts, audit procedures and forensics.

SOC was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), with SOC 2 Type II certification the most rigorous of these auditing procedures. SOC 2 is a standard that is subject to an annual accreditation process that assures service providers securely manage non-financial data to protect organizations' interests and their users' privacy.

“Independently certified security, trust and inclusion are the hallmarks of iProov’s services,” said Andrew Bud, Founder and CEO of iProov. “Every department and process must contribute to our high-security culture, supported by training and controls. This certification assures our customers, partners and their users that we are continuously monitoring and implementing robust controls over our security, processing integrity and privacy practices.”
