Unified.to is SOC 2 Compliant


November 8, 2024

Unified.to achieves SOC 2 Type 1 compliance strengthening commitment to security, confidentiality, and availability.

Since day one, Unified.to has put data security at the forefront, reflected in our real-time passthrough architecture and strict no-caching approach. In line with our commitment to high security standards, we're excited to announce that Unified.to is now SOC 2 Type 1 compliant. Our report covers the trust services criteria for security, confidentiality, and availability, underscoring our dedication to exceeding standard security benchmarks.

As global software companies rely on Unified.to's real-time unified API platform to manage hundreds of integrations for their customers, we dedicate substantial resources to maintaining a best-in-class security posture and practices.

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is a compliance standard from the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that outlines guidelines for SaaS companies to protect customer data. It assesses organizations based on five Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 compliance requires an external audit and includes two types of reports:

  • SOC 2 Type 1: Verifies a company's compliance at a single point in time.
  • SOC 2 Type 2: Assesses if a company maintains compliance over an extended period, typically 3 to 12 months.

Why SOC 2 compliance matters to us

We pursued SOC 2 certification to reinforce our commitment to building trust with our customers. As an API integration infrastructure company, we understand that customers entrust us with their own customers' data. That's why we adopted a zero-liability principle—avoiding any caching or storage of your customers' third-party data on our servers—significantly reducing liability and enhancing data protection. This approach helped us meet SOC 2 confidentiality requirements seamlessly. Our dedication to high security standards enabled us not only to fulfill the core Security requirement but also to include Confidentiality and Availability in our Type 1 report.

Security assessment

As part of the compliance process, Unified.to underwent a thorough independent security assessment. This evaluation included an extensive review of our security protocols, infrastructure, and data handling practices to ensure alignment with SOC 2 standards

What our SOC 2 compliance means for you

By partnering with a SOC 2-compliant platform, you strengthen your own compliance posture, easing the burden of due diligence and meeting internal and regulatory requirements more easily.

SOC 2 compliance is essential for industries like finance, e-commerce, and HR, where data protection and privacy standards are non-negotiable. With Unified.to's SOC 2 certification, you're backed by robust security across use cases in recruitment, sales, HR, customer support and payments. As we've shared, our zero-liability approach means we don't store or cache your customers' third-party data, reinforcing limited data exposure and offering you peace of mind about data integrity.

Looking ahead

We're dedicated to continuously enhancing our security and compliance efforts. As part of this commitment, we're starting the SOC 2 Type 2 process to validate our ability to uphold rigorous standards over time. We're also expanding our SOC 2 compliance to include Processing Integrity criteria, further strengthening our framework. These initiatives ensure our standards not only meet but exceed industry expectations.
