Product Fruits is SOC 2 Type II Certified: Learn About Our Security Measures

Our team has dedicated countless hours, expertise, and tested protocols to ensure that Product Fruits provides a secure, top-tier platform for our users.

This certification brings peace of mind to our customers, guaranteeing that their data is secure. In this article, we’ll explain what SOC 2 certification means for our clients, how we achieved it, and the benefits of using SOC 2-certified platforms.

What is SOC 2 Certification?

SOC 2 is a security audit developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). The certification process involves a third-party auditor who thoroughly reviews the service provider's policies, procedures, and technical infrastructure.

During this process, an auditing company evaluates how the provider protects client data and verifies compliance with internal policies.

The purpose of SOC 2 certification is to assess and ensure that SaaS and third-party companies process data securely.

Key Evaluation Criteria:

Security: The auditor evaluates the provider's security protocols, including protection against unauthorized access, theft, and malicious activities.
Availability: Verifies the provider's ability to ensure service availability and recovery plans in case of interruptions.
Processing Integrity: Ensures that processed data is complete and authorized.
Confidentiality: Assesses the provider's policies and procedures to guarantee that confidential data remains secure.
Privacy: Examines the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information.

To maintain compliance with these standards, Product Fruits conducts annual audits in addition to regular reviews of our systems and processes to ensure client data remains secure at all times.

How Did We Achieve SOC 2 Certification?

To obtain SOC 2 certification, companies undergo audits that can span several months. This means external representatives continuously verify, monitor, and report on each company’s protocols.

For Product Fruits, the audit was conducted by CertPro. Over four months, our team worked closely with CertPro to ensure all our security measures and protocols were in place.

During the audit, Product Fruits underwent a variety of tests, exercises, and inquiries, including:

Explaining how the system functions and providing evidence of processes.
Data storage and management procedures.
Password protection and end-to-end encryption protocols.
Employee training and management accountability.
Inspection of cloud storage locations.
Inquiries into management philosophy and ethics.
Risk assessments and mitigation plans.

As part of the audit, we reviewed our internal processes, tested systems, and verified how they handle client information.

Benefits of Using SOC 2 Certified Platforms

In the first quarter of 2023, over six million data records were exposed due to security breaches.

With the growing number of online transactions, records, and software usage, the pace of data breaches is unlikely to slow down.

This is why entrusting your data to companies that prioritize security is essential. Using SOC 2 Type II-certified platforms offers numerous benefits, such as greater client trust and enhanced security.

“SOC 2 reinforced the security we demand for our users. Maximum privacy and confidentiality are a guarantee at Product Fruits, not just a goal, and we take pride in offering this to all our clients.”
– Sean Matlock, Support Engineer @ Product Fruits

SOC 2 certification ensures the platform takes the necessary measures to prevent unauthorized access to client data while providing secure storage, processing, and transmission.

This means that by using a SOC 2-certified company, you can trust that sensitive information is securely stored and handled responsibly.
