The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants developed the Standard Organization Controls (SOC) auditing procedure to help service providers maintain data integrity, security, and privacy while hosting vital information in the cloud. SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time audit. SOC 2 Type II demonstrates that controls are working over an observation period. Any software provider should be at least SOC 2 Type I (and ideally on their way to a Type II) before you let them help you manage your data. We are thrilled to announce that Flourish Software has achieved and annually renewed a SOC 2 Type II certification since 2020. This accomplishment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to security, data integrity, and the trust our customers place in us.
Flourish Software was evaluated on all 5 of the “Trust Service Principles”, outlined below.
Obtaining SOC 2 Type II certification is no small feat. We underwent a rigorous audit process conducted by Aprio, a leading service auditor. This process evaluated our controls and their effectiveness over an extended period. It involved understanding complex requirements, preparing extensive documentation, and implementing necessary changes to meet compliance standards.
Flourish Software's pursuit of the SOC 2 Type II certification was driven by a steadfast commitment to data security, integrity, and privacy. This certification signifies more than just a mark of distinction; it provides our clients with the assurance that their sensitive information is safeguarded according to stringent industry standards.
In the cannabis industry, where compliance with regulatory requirements is crucial, demonstrating robust security measures becomes all the more essential. The SOC 2 audit process has been instrumental in identifying areas for potential enhancement, fortifying our internal controls, and boosting overall system resilience.
We believe that building lasting relationships with our clients hinges on transparency and trust. Our SOC 2 Type II certification is a testament to our determination to uphold these values.
Our journey doesn't end with achieving SOC 2 Type II certification. We continuously strive to enhance our security measures and stay ahead of evolving threats. We are committed to maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulations, ensuring the ongoing protection of our customers' data.
