Earthly has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance as of October 26, 2023, following its SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in April 2023, marking a significant step in its commitment to data security and operational effectiveness for its users. SOC 2 compliance is crucial for SaaS providers as it assesses and verifies the controls surrounding security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of systems processing user data. While SOC 2 Type 1 evaluates the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time, SOC 2 Type 2 requires an ongoing assessment of these controls over an extended period, providing a deeper insight into their consistent application. For Earthly Cloud users, this compliance ensures minimal risks related to data breaches and unauthorized access, aligning with industry regulatory requirements and enabling uninterrupted business operations. Despite this enhancement in data security assurance, the functionality of Earthly Cloud and Earthly Satellites remains unaffected, maintaining the expected performance and reliability for users.
