Cloud security incidents are increasingly common, with 24% of organizations experiencing a public cloud-related security breach in the past year, highlighting the importance of choosing a secure tech stack. SOC 2 certification is essential for cloud providers to demonstrate their commitment to high security standards, as it involves compliance with criteria set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for information security and privacy. Appflow, a mobile CI/CD platform by Ionic, recently achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, indicating its adherence to rigorous security protocols over a continuous period. This certification helps organizations feel confident in the security of their cloud providers by reducing the need for extensive individual evaluations. SOC 2 certification is seen as the industry standard for enterprises seeking secure cloud service providers.
