Laurel Achieves SOC 2 Type II Certification: Building with Confidence for Secure and Efficient Digital Work Management 🎉

We're excited to announce a significant milestone at Laurel: our achievement of SOC 2 Type II certification. This certification isn't just a mark of our commitment to security; it's the foundation that allows us to confidently provide services that transform your digital work footprints into accurate, secure, and compliant time entries.

What Does a SOC 2 Report Cover? 

All SOC 2 examinations are performed by accredited CPA firms under the standards defined by SSAE 18. An auditor tests the effectiveness of the internal controls outlined by the organization, then maps those controls to one or a combination of Trust Services Criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

In our case, those criteria include: 

• Security: The system is protected against unauthorized access (both physical and logical).
• Availability: The system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
• Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed.

Why Did We Undergo a SOC 2 Exam? 

Completing a SOC 2 examination marks a huge step forward in our efforts to demonstrate our commitment to data security and ensure that we’re prepared to face the challenges of the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. 

“We are pleased that our SOC 2 report has shown we have the appropriate controls in place to mitigate risks related to Security, Availability, and Confidentiality,” said Eric Etherington, Chief Information Security Officer. “Our customers expect us to secure their data while also providing a highly available service. This report reflects our commitment to meeting those goals on a consistent basis.”
