Pathify Achieves SOC 2 Type I Compliance, Reinforcing Commitment to Data Security

DENVER, July 16, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Pathify, the leading digital engagement hub for higher education, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Systems and Organizational Control (SOC) 2 Type I examination. Conducted by Modern Assurance, the rigorous audit process affirms Pathify’s information security practices, policies, procedures and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security, availability and confidentiality.  

The achievement of SOC 2 Type I compliance marks a significant milestone in Pathify’s ongoing commitment to ensuring robust data security and business continuity for its growing roster of customers. 

“We are extremely proud to announce our SOC 2 certification,” said Chris Hagan, Pathify’s Chief Technology Officer. "We have always ensured our platform’s security, but this verification further validates we are doing all the right things to protect our customers’ data."

SOC 2 is an auditing standard created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to evaluate an organization’s controls related to information security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 Type I assesses an organization’s systems, focusing on the design and implementation of these controls to ensure they meet the relevant trust services criteria. 

"This successful SOC 2 Type I examination audit provides our customers with the assurance that the controls and safeguards we have in place are in line with industry standards and best practices," said Chase Williams, Pathify’s Chief Executive Officer. 

“This has set the groundwork for SOC 2 Type II certification, which we intend to pursue in 2025. Our customers can feel confident we are making every effort to establish and maintain the highest level of security and compliance,” Hagan added. 

In addition to SOC 2 Type I compliance, Pathify has also achieved a BitSight Security Rating of 760, significantly surpassing the industry average of 680.
