[Company Name] Achieves SOC 2 Compliance, Reinforcing Its Commitment to Security and Trust

We're proud to announce that [Company Name] is now SOC 2 compliant, marking a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to security, reliability, and transparency for our customers and partners.

This milestone was achieved in close partnership with ZebraByte, who led our compliance process.

What this means for our customers

SOC 2 compliance provides independent assurance that [Company Name] operates with strong internal controls designed to protect customer data.

For our customers, this means:

  • Increased confidence in how we protect sensitive information
  • Reduced vendor risk and easier security reviews
  • Alignment with enterprise, regulatory, and procurement requirements
  • Proof that security is embedded in our day-to-day operations, not just promised

SOC 2 is not a one-time checkbox. It represents a continuous commitment to maintaining high standards across our organization.

What is SOC 2, exactly?

SOC 2 is a widely recognized compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

For [Company Name], the SOC 2 examination focused on the Trust Services Criteria most relevant to how we build and operate our product:

[Keep only Trust Services Criteria on report]

  • Security – Protection against unauthorized access
  • Availability – System reliability and uptime
  • Confidentiality – Safeguarding sensitive information
  • Processing Integrity – Accuracy and completeness of system processing
  • Privacy – Proper handling of personal data

An independent auditor validated that these controls operated effectively over an extended period ([XX/XX/XXX to XX/XX/XXX]), providing assurance that our security practices are consistently enforced day to day.

Thanks to ZebraByte's structured approach and hands-on guidance, we were able to move through the compliance process faster, with clarity, and without disrupting our core operations.

How to access our SOC 2 Report

The full SOC 2 Type II report is a restricted-use document and is available to customers and prospective customers under NDA upon request.

  • Contact your [Company Name] sales or account representative, or

Replace long security questionnaires: offer to share SOC 2 report under NDA.

This can cut weeks off enterprise deals.

Make your compliance a competitive advantage

If competitors are not SOC 2: mention it explicitly in competitive deals.
