Announcing SOC 2 Certification: CData Continues our Commitment to Data Security

We are pleased to announce that CData is officially SOC 2 compliant. This major milestone reflects CData’s commitment to protecting our users’ data by implementing rigorous, enterprise-level security measures.

The audit, performed by LBMC, reviewed CData’s controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, and confidentiality based on the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The report covers CData Connect Cloud, CData Connect Server, CData Drivers, CData Sync, and CData Arc.

What is SOC 2 Compliance?

System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 is a widely recognized security standard developed by the AICPA that specifies how organizations should manage customer data. A SOC 2 report is often the primary document that security departments rely on to assess a vendor’s ability to maintain adequate security.

Service providers like CData voluntarily undergo a rigorous audit and assessment to ensure their security controls meet AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria, which include:

  • Security
  • Availability
  • Processing integrity
  • Confidentiality

SOC 2 compliance comes in two forms: A SOC 2 Type 1 report describes the design of a service provider’s system controls to meet relevant trust criteria as of a specific point in time, while a SOC 2 Type II report details the operational effectiveness of those systems controls to perform as designed over a specified period of time.

CData’s Security Milestone

SOC 2 compliance is a critical security initiative and an important milestone for CData. Organizations can deploy our market-leading connectivity solutions in the cloud and on-premises with confidence that each product meets exacting, industry-standard criteria for security and risk management. Information security is a top concern for every organization, and it will continue to be a priority here at CData.
