Strengthening Security and Trust with SOC 2 Compliance |
At YäRKEN, we understand the importance of maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy. That’s why we are proud to announce that our SaaS Cost Transparency platform has achieved SOC 2 compliance. This significant milestone underscores our commitment to protecting your sensitive financial information and providing transparent, reliable services.
Achieving SOC 2 compliance was a multi-step process that involved meticulous planning, rigorous implementation, and continuous monitoring. We partnered with Vanta to streamline this journey and ensure we met all necessary requirements efficiently and effectively.
What is SOC 2 Compliance?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a rigorous auditing standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates an organization’s ability to manage customer data.
Achieving SOC 2 compliance demonstrates our dedication to maintaining these critical standards.
Our Journey to SOC 2 Compliance
Step -1 |
Initial Assessment and Gap Analysis Our SOC 2 compliance journey began with a thorough assessment of our current security posture. This involved:
|
Step-2 |
Implementing Necessary Controls With a clear understanding of our gaps and objectives, we proceeded to implement the necessary controls to meet SOC 2 standards. This included: • Security Enhancements: Implementing advanced security measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and intrusion detection systems. • Process Improvements: Enhancing our data processing and management practices to ensure accuracy, integrity, and reliability. • Access Controls: Strengthening access controls to protect confidential information and prevent unauthorized access. |
Step-3 |
Continuous Monitoring with Vanta To ensure ongoing compliance and continuous improvement, we integrated Vanta’s compliance automation platform into our operations. Vanta provided us with: • Automated Compliance Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of our compliance with SOC 2 requirements, ensuring we stayed ahead of potential security issues. • Real-Time Insights: An intuitive, user-friendly dashboard that provided real-time visibility into our security posture and compliance status. • Proactive Risk Management: Advanced tools to proactively identify and address security risks, further strengthening our compliance efforts. |
Step-4 |
Preparing for the Audit With the necessary controls in place and continuous monitoring by Vanta, we prepared for the SOC 2 audit by: • Internal Reviews: Conducting internal reviews and mock audits to ensure readiness and address any remaining issues. • Documentation: Compiling comprehensive documentation of our security measures, processes, and controls. |
Step-5 |
The SOC 2 Audit The final step was the SOC 2 audit itself, where an independent auditor evaluated our controls and processes against the SOC 2 criteria. Thanks to our thorough preparation and Vanta’s continuous monitoring, we successfully passed the audit. |
