The SOC 2 assurance report an evaluation of an organisation’s cybersecurity controls. The assessment process, performed by external auditors, tests the design of security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy processes of a connected solution at a specific point in time.

This report asserts that Soracom’s business processes and the internal control environment of the Soracom IoT Platform are appropriately designed based on the applicable Trust Service Criteria. In this case, the evaluation assessed the security and confidentiality of both cloud services and outsourced providers.

Soracom will continue to strengthen its internal controls and security measures to provide the most reliable global IoT platform. The company is also working towards receiving SOC 2 Type 2 assurance compliance, which evaluates the effectiveness of the platform’s controls over time by observing a full year of operations.

“Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 assurance compliance represents a significant milestone for Soracom,” said Kenta Yasukawa, the co-founder and CTO of Soracom. “Customers around the world trust Soracom with their data.
