i2 Group, a leading provider of link analysis software worldwide, is excited to announce that earlier this year, its i2 Online platform successfully completed the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) SOC 2 Type 2 compliance for security, availability, and confidentiality.
This assessment further underscores i2's dedication to maintaining top-tier standards in protecting customer data. This globally recognized benchmark, conducted by Schellman & Company, has been attained for our i2 Online platform, enabling data analysts to seamlessly access external data sources directly from i2® Analyst’s Notebook®.
This achievement ensures that our customers and the data providers linked to i2 Online can have confidence in our effective systems and controls for securely managing their data.
I2 Product Manager, Ryan Hoover, said:
“We are thrilled by the news that i2 Group has achieved SOC-2 Type 2 compliance. Receiving SOC-2 isn't just about meeting industry standards - it's a testament to our unwavering commitment to safeguarding customer data in our SaaS products. It ensures that sensitive customer data is fortified with the highest level of security and trust, providing peace of mind for our customers in knowing that their information is protected with the utmost diligence and care.”
SOC 2 reports help organizations prove their information security controls based on five Trust Services Criteria (TSC): security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The Type II report assesses the operating effectiveness of your internal controls over a period of time, typically 3-12 months. SOC 2 Type II audits require a greater investment of both time and resources.
As data breaches and cyber threats continue to rise, safeguarding sensitive information has become paramount for businesses and individuals alike. SOC 2 compliance is a powerful assurance for our customers that i2 Online adheres to the most stringent data protection practices.
i2 Online was assessed in the following categories:
1. Security: SOC 2 scrutinized the effectiveness of our security measures, ensuring that customer data is fortified against unauthorized access, both physically and virtually. Your information is our top priority, and this certification validates our unwavering commitment to keeping your data safe from potential threats.
