Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected.

This successful audit demonstrates EarthSoft’s continued commitment to information security at every level and ensures our clients that the security of their data and information has been addressed, implemented, and properly controlled in all areas of our organization.
