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.
