As the number of cyber threats and data breaches continues to rise, it is crucial for companies to establish strong security protocols in order to protect their customers’ information. This is where certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 become crucial. Ensuring data security and compliance is vital for businesses of every size.
At RocketReach, we take our duty to protect customer data very seriously. Earlier this year, we went through a thorough process to obtain our ISO 27001 certification and our SOC 2 renewal, ensuring the highest level of security for the confidential information our valued customers have entrusted to us.
What are these certifications and how do they contribute to the success of your business? Let’s examine them more closely.
SOC 2, or Service Organization Control 2, is an auditing procedure that evaluates a company’s controls and processes related to data security, availability, and confidentiality. It is designed specifically for service providers that store customer data in the cloud. By obtaining this certification, we can assure our customers that we have the necessary security measures in place to protect their data from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems. It provides a framework for managing and protecting sensitive information, including financial data, intellectual property, and employee details. This certification demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest level of data security and complying with global information security standards.
But why should operations, technology, or compliance managers care about these certifications? They offer external confirmation of our security protocols, assuring you that your data is well-protected. These protocols also demonstrate our dedication to data security and compliance, as we continuously strive to enhance our procedures for the utmost safeguarding of our clients.
These certifications also help your business comply with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), both of which have strict guidelines for data protection. By partnering with a certified vendor such as RocketReach, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are meeting these compliance requirements and avoiding any potential fines or penalties.
Data security and compliance are critical in today’s digital world. Certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 demonstrate a company’s commitment to protecting customer data. As operations, technology, and compliance leaders, we are here to help to support the safety and security of your company’s information.
