A Major Step into Data Security: SOC 2 Type 2

At Valven, we take data security and privacy very seriously because we deliver advanced analysis on development and deployment actions and metrics. We are excited to announce that as of August 19, we have successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. This compliance is a testament to our serious commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security, availability, and confidentiality for our customers.

SOC 2 Type 2

SOC 2 Type 2 is an industry-standard auditing process developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that evaluates a company’s information security policies and procedures over a sustained period. Unlike Type 1, which assesses the design of security controls at a specific point in time, Type 2 examines how effectively these controls operate over six to twelve months. This rigorous, independent audit ensures that an organization consistently maintains high levels of security and operational integrity.

One of the main reasons why we prioritize SOC 2 Type 2 is to keep continuous track of our operation and processes to ensure no gap is left that would have an impact on the security and data integrity. 

What does this mean for our customers?

SOC 2 Type 2 is an industry-leading standard that affirms our commitment to your data's security, availability, and confidentiality.

This process involves rigorous, independent audits to ensure that our controls and practices meet or exceed the industry’s most stringent standards. Achieving this attestation provides assurance that we are proactively managing your data to protect your interests and privacy.

Building Trust with Our Customers

Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance demonstrates our commitment to protecting your data. In a world where data breaches and cyber threats are increasingly common, having this attestation reassures our customers that their information is secure. 

From day 1 we have been continuously investing in establishing secure processes because we know that the value we provide through deep analysis of the development and deployment behaviors is only possible with the data and we are committed to keeping the data safe and secure.

Enhanced Security and Trust

SOC 2 Type 2 compliance demonstrates that an organization has implemented strict security controls to protect sensitive customer data. It covers critical aspects such as data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. By adhering to these standards and continuously matching the requirements, Valven assures its ecosystem that each customer's data is handled with the highest level of security.

Now, Valven Atlas users will be ensured that the security measures are taken and they can enjoy benefiting greatly from the deep analysis of the development and deployment cycles and improve software quality and performance with a safe approach.

Continuous Compliance

Unlike SOC 2 Type 1, which evaluates controls at a specific point in time, SOC 2 Type 2 assesses the effectiveness of those controls over an extended period, usually 6 to 12 months. This continuous evaluation provides evidence that Valven consistently maintains high security and operational standards, ensuring that the implemented controls are in place and actively functioning as intended.

The fact that the audit process is continuous enabled Valven to establish strong policies and ensures that we are living by these policies and best practices to create an environment that is immune to any data breaches. 

Risk Mitigation

SOC 2 Type 2 compliance helps organizations identify potential vulnerabilities and gaps in their security practices. The comprehensive auditing process provides valuable insights into the organization's controls, helping to mitigate risks before they can lead to data breaches or other security incidents. 

Through a powerful risk management process, we aim to set our standards to the highest while protecting our customer's valuable data.

Operational Excellence

SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is not just about security; it also evaluates the organization’s operational practices. This includes assessing how effectively Valven manages its internal processes, monitors systems, and responds to incidents. 

By achieving this attestation, Valven shows that while prioritizing security, we also strive for operational excellence, which will lead to improved efficiency and reliability of our services.

Our Commitment to Security and Excellence

At Valven, our mission is to deliver exceptional value for fellow software development teams all around the world to enable them with increased monitoring capabilities and highlight bottlenecks in their development and deployment processes while ensuring the security and privacy of their data. 

Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is a significant milestone in our journey toward operational excellence and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards. We will continue to invest in and prioritize security measures to protect our customers’ data, providing them with the confidence and peace of mind they deserve.

Next Steps in Our Journey

SOC 2 Type 2 is just one step in our continuous effort to enhance our security posture. We will remain vigilant, regularly reviewing and improving our security practices to stay ahead of emerging threats and ensure that we are providing the best possible protection for our customers and their data.

Thank you for being a part of the Valven community. Your trust is invaluable to us, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with the highest standards of security and reliability.
