Foundational has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, a prestigious standard for ensuring the security, availability, and confidentiality of customer data. SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), involves rigorous audits by third-party auditors to confirm compliance with security measures, including organizational behavior and technical safeguards like antivirus software and firewalls. The "Type II" designation signifies that the audit covers an extended period, assessing how the organization manages changes and incidents. Foundational emphasizes the Principle of Least Privilege, limiting permissions to reduce risks, and prides itself on a security model that avoids accessing customer data by deriving insights from code analysis and lineage. Security has been a foundational element of the company from its inception, with a focus on building robust measures from the start, thanks to the cybersecurity backgrounds of its founders and early employees. The company remains dedicated to prioritizing security as it advances its platform and invites inquiries regarding its data security practices.
