Summary

Ionic has announced its achievement of SOC 2 Type I compliance, underscoring its commitment to high standards of data security and privacy for its Appflow customers. SOC 2, a standard established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates an organization's information security controls, which is crucial for enterprises using cloud-based data storage. The compliance process involved a comprehensive review of Ionic's systems, controls, and policies, in collaboration with the compliance platform Laika. This audit focused on the five Trust Services criteria: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Privacy, and Processing Integrity. Ionic has also detailed its security protocols across various areas, including product, data, network, and application security. The company plans to pursue SOC 2 Type II compliance next, which involves a longer observation window, to further enhance its security posture.
