MeRLIN SOC 2 Type 2 Certification: Strengthening Our Commitment to Security
We are pleased to announce that MeRLIN has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification. This independent validation highlights our ongoing commitment to data security and the trust of our customers. This certification verifies not only that we have designed strong security controls, but also that these controls are operating effectively over time, ensuring that our clients can trust us with their most sensitive information.
What is SOC 2 Type 2 Certification?
SOC 2 stands for Service Organization Controls. It’s a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for service providers managing customer data.
A SOC 2 Type 2 certification goes beyond the initial Type 1 assessment by evaluating the operational effectiveness of MeRLIN’s security controls over an extended period. This includes measures related to:
- Security: Protecting information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
- Availability: Ensuring customer data and systems are accessible when needed.
- Processing Integrity: Guaranteeing the accuracy and completeness of data during processing.
- Confidentiality: Maintaining the privacy of customer information.
Obtaining SOC 2 Type 2 certification signifies a major milestone for MeRLIN, as it demonstrates that our systems and processes have undergone continuous, independent scrutiny to confirm their effectiveness in protecting client data. This validation affirms our unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of security and integrity in handling our clients’ data, instilling confidence in our responsible and secure approach.
Commitment to Ongoing Security and Compliance
In addition to our SOC 2 Type 2 certification, MeRLIN remains committed to maintaining compliance with other key security standards, including ISO/IEC 27001. ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS), ensuring that organizations have established methodologies and a framework to manage and protect sensitive information.
By achieving both SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification, MeRLIN demonstrates its dedication to robust security measures and the continuous improvement of our security practices.
