MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FireTail Inc., a disruptor in API security, has achieved a Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 accreditation. The SOC 2 Type 2 compliance audit represents a rigorous and thorough evaluation of FireTail’s security practices, policies, and controls confirming data security and privacy standards are being met over time. This achievement is an important milestone in FireTail’s ongoing journey to ensure adherence to the highest industry standards for data protection and cybersecurity.
The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) developed the SOC 2 auditing procedure to measure and verify service provider’s data privacy and protection management practices.
