We’re excited to share that 360 Smart Networks has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, a rigorous independent validation of our security and operational controls. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to protecting your data and ensuring reliable IT services.
What is SOC 2 Type 2?
SOC 2 is an independent audit framework established by the AICPA that assesses how well a service provider protects client data across five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Type 2 means the audit covers not just policies and designs, but evidence that those controls work effectively over a defined period (often 6–12 months). In short, it shows our controls function consistently in real life, not just on paper.
What it means for our company
- We have formal, reviewed processes for access control, data handling, change management, incident response, and disaster recovery.
- Our team follows documented procedures, undergoes regular monitoring, and participates in ongoing training to stay ahead of evolving threats.
- The attestation requires independent testing and reporting, which provides third-party assurance that our security posture is not just claimed, but demonstrated over time.
What it means for our clients
- Stronger data protection: Proven, repeatable controls to guard sensitive information, reducing risk of unauthorized access or data loss.
- Greater assurance for audits and compliance: SOC 2 Type 2 evidence supports your own regulatory and contractual obligations, making client or partner audits smoother.
- Improved incident readiness: Established, tested incident response and disaster recovery plans help minimize downtime and data impact if something goes wrong.
- Transparent security posture: You can rely on a trusted partner with documented controls, evidence of ongoing monitoring, and a path for continuous improvement.
- Reduced fifth-column risks: Consistent password policies, access reviews, encryption, and vendor risk management reduce human error and third-party risk.
- Business continuity and resilience: Availability controls demonstrate our ability to maintain service during disruptions, so your operations stay up and productive.
How we’ll use SOC 2 Type 2 in practice
- We’ll continue to monitor and improve our controls, share relevant evidence with clients upon request, and periodically renew the attestation to maintain ongoing assurance.
- We’ll translate technical controls into practical benefits for you, focusing on security, reliability, and compliance readiness.
Thank you for trusting 360 Smart Networks with your technology. We remain dedicated to secure, reliable IT support that helps your business grow.
