• SOC or System and Organizational Control is a suite of reports produced during an audit. SOC 2 Type II compliance applies to all service providers that process and store customer data. These reports from accredited auditors can be used by customers to identify the risks involved in outsourcing a service.  
  • Gnani.ai recently was able to get SOC 2 Type II certification after passing through rigorous assessment process conducted by an independent auditor. We were able to do so because of our razor-sharp focus on providing the highest security standards for everyone involved with us in any capacity.
  • SOC 2 Type II compliance is for non-financial institutions and examines an organization’s internal systems based on Trust Service Categories which include security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

Selling B2B software to larger enterprises, gaining their trust and demonstrating security and compliance measures is a significant challenge. It’s crucial to assure these enterprises that their sensitive data is handled in accordance with regulations and industry best practices, especially in the face of increasing data breaches. Gnani.ai’s SOC 2 Type II compliance report assures clients that we provide the best security to them.  

To engage with companies with robust InfoSec processes, vendors are often required to complete extensive security questionnaires or provide detailed security compliance reports. Sometimes, they may be asked to do both. These questionnaires can be time-consuming and challenging as each one may differ significantly from the next. Initially, at Gnani.ai, we faced these challenges and found that completing multiple security questionnaires was not the most efficient approach to assure our customers of data security.  

In July 2023, we took the proactive step of achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance. This decision enabled us to enhance our security practices, and the process taught us valuable lessons about how to better protect our customers’ data and provide them with the assurance they needed.
