We’re excited to announce that Prowler has been chosen to participate in Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024! Being part of this highly competitive group of 200 startups, selected from thousands of applicants, is a huge honor.

TechCrunch Disrupt, held from October 28-30 at Moscone West in San Francisco, is renowned for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and startups that push the boundaries of innovation. Past companies like Dropbox, Cloudflare, and Fitbit have all made their mark at Disrupt, and we’re excited to add Prowler to that list.

We’re challenging the cloud security industry’s reliance on closed, proprietary systems. As our Founder and CEO, Toni de la Fuente, puts it:

“We’re incredibly honored to be chosen as part of TechCrunch Disrupt’s Startup Battlefield 200. At Prowler, we’re not just building a company, we’re building a movement. We offer a real alternative to the status quo in cloud security—a space that has been dominated for far too long by closed, proprietary, black-box solutions. The true heroes in this industry, the practitioners, deserve tools that empower them with transparency, flexibility, and choice. This opportunity at TechCrunch Disrupt allows us to share our vision with the world and drive forward the future of open cloud security.”

At Prowler, security is more than just a priority—it’s a core value that shapes everything we do. We know that when it comes to managing your cloud environments, you need to trust that your data is handled with the utmost care. That’s why we’re excited to share some big news: Prowler is now SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.

What’s SOC 2 Type II Anyway?

If you’re not familiar, SOC 2 is a set of standards developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It’s all about making sure service providers (like us) manage your data securely.

SOC 2 Type I gives you a snapshot of how well we’ve designed our security processes. SOC 2 Type 2 takes it a step further, evaluating how effective those processes are over time. In other words, SOC 2 Type 2 isn’t just a one-time check—it’s an ongoing promise that we’re keeping your data secure, consistently.

Why This Matters to You

Getting SOC 2 Type 2 compliance isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about giving you peace of mind. Here’s why it’s a big deal:

• Proving We Walk the Walk: SOC 2 Type 2 is about more than just having the right policies on paper. It’s about showing that those policies work, day in and day out. You can trust that we’re not just saying we’re secure—we’re proving it.
• Independent Validation: The process involves detailed third-party audits that dig deep into our practices. It’s a rigorous check, and passing it means our security measures aren’t just solid—they’re rock solid.
• Building Trust: We know trust is earned, not given. Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is one way we’re working to earn yours. It’s our commitment to being transparent and reliable when it comes to handling your data.

Security Is What We Do

Our mission is to help organizations of all sizes stay compliant with a wide range of security standards and frameworks. Whether you’re working with CIS, NIST 800, NIST CSF, CISA, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, FFIEC, SOC 2, GxP, the AWS Well-Architected Security framework, ENS, or more, Prowler has you covered.

But we don’t just stop at helping you meet these standards. We’re here to guide you through the complexities of compliance, making it as seamless as possible. Here’s how:

• Comprehensive Framework Support: Prowler offers built-in support for a wide range of security frameworks. This means you can easily map your cloud security practices to the specific compliance requirements that matter most to your organization. Whether you need to align with multiple frameworks or focus on a particular one, Prowler provides the tools to help you stay compliant across the board.
• Customizable Compliance Reports: With Prowler, you can generate detailed compliance reports that are tailored to your needs. These reports help you see where you stand, identify any gaps, and provide the documentation you need for internal audits or regulatory reviews.
• Community and Collaboration: We believe in the power of open source and community-driven innovation. That’s why we actively engage with our community to share best practices, provide support, and collaborate on new features. Our community isn’t just a group of users—it’s a network of like-minded professionals who are passionate about security and compliance. Together, we’re building stronger, more secure cloud environments for everyone.
• Ongoing Updates and Improvements: Compliance isn’t static. As regulations evolve and new standards emerge, Prowler continuously updates its tools and resources to keep you ahead of the curve. Our commitment to continuous improvement means you can rely on us to help you stay compliant, no matter how the landscape changes.

How We Got Here: With a Little Help from Our Friends

Getting to SOC 2 Type 2 compliance was no small feat. It took a lot of hard work, and we didn’t do it alone. We partnered with Insight Assurance. and they confirmed our alignment with the stringent requirements of SOC 2 Type 2, bolstering our data security practices and enhancing trust with our stakeholders.

Here’s how it all came together:

1. Continuous Improvement: Since we achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, we’ve been busy refining our security processes. We’re always looking for ways to do better, and this milestone is proof of that commitment.
2. Collaborative Effort: Our team—alongside Insight Assurance—worked to ensure everything was in place. From engineering to operations, it was a cross-functional effort that brought us to where we are today.
3. Third-Party Audits: We didn’t just self-assess; we brought in independent auditors to take a close look at how we operate. Their detailed review confirmed that our controls weren’t just set up correctly—they were actually working effectively over time.
4. Transparency: Throughout the process, we documented everything. This wasn’t just about passing an audit; it was about ensuring that our practices are transparent and well-documented, so you know exactly what you’re getting with Prowler.

What’s Next?

Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is a huge win, but we’re not stopping here. Security is a continuous journey, and we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve. We’ll keep refining our processes, staying vigilant, and doing everything we can to protect your data. To learn more you can visit our trust center: https://trust.prowler.com
