Announcing SOC 2 Type 2 Certification for Lumar: Demonstrating High Data Security and Privacy Standards

Earning SOC 2 Type 2 certification means that our systems controls’ design has met the rigorous standards for security and privacy compliance laid out in the “System and Organizations Controls” (SOC) guidance.\xa0


SOC 2 – Type 2 reports occur after the initial Type 1 certification is in place. These audits validate the effectiveness and sustainability of data security measures over time, building on the work already accomplished in the Type 1 report.\xa0\xa0

“The Lumar team has long understood the importance of keeping our customers’ data and privacy secure. Earning this next level of SOC 2 certification demonstrates our adherence to the highest security and privacy standards and reflects the great work our engineers and product development teams are constantly producing behind the scenes at Lumar.

\xa0As AICPA puts it:

Enterprise companies in particular often look to SOC 2 reports as part of their vendor selection, procurement, and risk management processes to ensure that the services and tech stacks they are adopting will meet their high standards for data security and privacy requirements.\xa0

SOC 2 credentials help demonstrate that best-in-class security and privacy practices have been met for SaaS platforms like Lumar. The SOC standards were developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the governing body behind SOC 2 reports and compliance, with the intention of providing businesses with assurance and peace of mind regarding their platforms’ and vendors’ security methods and integrity around maintaining data privacy.\xa0

SOC 2 – Type 1 reports, in brief, confirm that a service provider’s systems and controls have been suitably designed to meet a high standard for data security and privacy within their service or product offering. This is achieved through a detailed audit of the systems and controls design.\xa0\xa0
