We are excited that WurkNow has successfully completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit, marking a significant step forward in our commitment to data security and customer trust. This achievement underscores our dedication to upholding the highest standards in information security, as outlined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

What Is SOC 2 Type 1 Compliance?

SOC 2 is an industry-recognized framework developed by the AICPA to help organizations demonstrate their commitment to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. A SOC 2 Type 1 report specifically evaluates the design and implementation of a company’s internal controls at a specific point in time. This means that an independent auditor has reviewed our policies, procedures, and technical safeguards and verified that they are suitably designed to protect your data.

As the AICPA states, “SOC 2 reports are intended to meet the needs of a broad range of users that need detailed information and assurance about the controls at a service organization relevant to security, availability, and processing integrity of the systems the service organization uses to process users’ data, and the confidentiality and privacy of the information processed by these systems.”

Why Does SOC 2 Type 1 Matter?

Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is a testament to WurkNow’s ongoing commitment to security and transparency. This milestone assures our customers and partners that:

  • We have established and implemented organizational practices to safeguard customer data.

  • Our controls are in line with leading industry standards for data security and privacy.

  • We are dedicated to maintaining a secure data environment for all users.

Our Path to Compliance

The journey to SOC 2 Type 1 compliance required a coordinated, company-wide effort. We partnered with Johanson Group LLP, a premier certification body specializing in SOC 2 audits, to independently assess our internal controls, including our security policies, procedures, and infrastructure. This comprehensive review covered critical areas such as data security, firewall configurations, change management, logical access, backup management, business continuity, disaster recovery, and incident response.

Thanks to the dedication of our team and the expertise of Johanson Group LLP, we successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance. This accomplishment is not just a one-time event—it reflects our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and regular review of our security practices.

Looking Ahead

SOC 2 Type 1 compliance lays the foundation for our broader security program. We are committed to ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement.

Building Trust Through Security

At WurkNow, we believe that trust is earned through transparency and accountability. Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is one of the many ways we demonstrate our dedication to protecting your data and supporting your business.
