New York – October 5, 2023 – Proctortrack by Verificient celebrates October’s 20th Annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a renewed commitment to data privacy and security. Proctortrack has successfully renewed the SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. The products and services by Proctortrack align with the requirements for the System and Organizations Controls defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s information security policies, practices, and controls over a specified period. It goes beyond the static assessment of Type 1 compliance and involves an in-depth review of the effectiveness of these controls over time. The SOC 2 Type 2 audit period typically spans six to 12 months, providing a more holistic view of an organization’s commitment to data security.
In 2020, Verificient Technologies Inc. developed a unique awareness program called #CyberSecuritySmart for internal and external users of Proctortrack, emphasizing the critical role of digital security in our interconnected world. It serves as a reminder for businesses and individuals to prioritize safeguarding sensitive information.
Keeping in line with #CyberSecuritySmart, Proctortrack has always been proactive in its privacy and security-centric approach by meeting the following security and data compliance programs:
- USA: SOC2 Type 2, FERPA, and ADA Certifications
- Canada: PIPEDA and FIPPA Certifications
- Europe: GDPR and Privacy Shield Certifications
- Global: ISO-27001 Certification
“We are excited to renew our SOC 2 Type 2 audit compliance. This certification validates robust systems and practices, assuring our clients and stakeholders that their data is handled with the highest security and care. As a leader in online proctoring, we remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of information security and data integrity for organizations, users, and users worldwide,” says Rahul Siddharth, COO of Proctortrack.
About SOC 2 Compliance
SOC 2 compliance has become a de facto standard for organizations, especially those engaging with large, US-based enterprises. It underscores the flexibility for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to data security proactively. A crucial aspect of the SOC 2 audit process is the involvement of third-party certified auditors. Only CPA firms that are licensed and approved can conduct a proper SOC 2 audit. These auditors, often independent CPAs, undergo specific training to evaluate an organization’s adherence to SOC 2 criteria and produce a verified report.
