The audit was conducted by Percilchofe CPA LLC. A SOC 2 Type I report evaluates whether an organization's controls are suitably designed, as of a specific point in time, to meet those criteria. For PrivacyHawk, it's a formal, third-party confirmation of something core to the product: that the systems handling customers' personal data are held to the highest rigor. "Our entire business is built to help people protect their personal data. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of security as we believe it's what our users expect and deserve,” said Aaron Mendes, CEO and Co-Founder of PrivacyHawk. “This audit is one way to prove it instead of just saying it. We're already nearly complete with the Type II certification as well, which is an even harder test, demonstrating that our rigorous security standards hold up over months, not just on paper." About the SOC 2 Type I Certification SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the AICPA for service organizations that manage customer data.
