Azalea Health, a prominent provider of comprehensive cloud-based healthcare IT solutions and services, has officially completed its SOC 2 Type 2 certification in collaboration with Cherry Bekaert LLP, adhering to the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This achievement follows the earlier SOC 2 Type 1 certification obtained by the company earlier this year.
While SOC 2 Type 1 involves a point-in-time evaluation of control design to confirm the presence of security measures, the recently concluded SOC 2 Type 2 certification signifies that Azalea’s security measures have undergone rigorous testing and validation, affirming their efficacy for customers.
Attaining SOC 2 Type 2 compliance marks a significant milestone for Azalea, underscoring the company’s unwavering commitment to upholding the highest industry standards in managing and safeguarding customer data. The certification involves an in-depth and ongoing assessment of Azalea’s controls and processes related to security over a specified period, serving as a validation of their effectiveness.
Brian Kenah, CTO of Azalea Health, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, “Azalea Health is dedicated to operating with the highest security and data protection standards. Completing SOC 2 Type 2 certification ahead of schedule, following our Type 1 certification in March, not only validates the functionality of our controls but also enhances trust and transparency in the industry.”
Established by the AICPA, SOC 2 certification is applicable to organizations of all sizes and industries, ensuring the protection of customer assets. The SOC 2 Type 2 certification specifically validates Azalea’s internal controls and assesses how effectively the company safeguards customer data, particularly for cloud service providers.
SOC 2 reports, globally recognized, affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, personnel, data, policies, procedures, and operations have undergone a thorough formal review.
