Cloud Storage Security Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance

December 18, 2023 –  Today, Cloud Storage Security (CSS), a leading data security software provider for AWS storage services, announced that it has successfully completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II audit, achieving compliance with the highest industry standards for customer data security. CSS’s hard work and commitment to the process, which required almost a year of preparation, underscores their dedication to providing a secure data environment. 

“CSS antivirus and data classification solutions help organizations secure their data and are often implemented by customers in order to meet SOC 2 requirements. So, it was only natural for us to provide customers with the assurance that our internal operations follow industry standards and that our policies are implemented correctly as well as monitored consistently,” says CSS CEO Steven Hess. “Being SOC 2 Type II compliant is the best way to prove this and strengthen trust.” 

SOC 2 Type II is a report of information security standards that is pursued by thousands of organizations every year to validate controls relevant to security, availability, processing, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. During a SOC 2 Type II audit, individual controls are evaluated to determine an organization’s effectiveness at ensuring a high level of information security. Compliance guarantees that the company has established and implemented organizational practices that safeguard customer data.

CSS’s audit was completed with the help of Johanson Group LLP, which attested to CSS’s information security controls meeting the leading industry standards. No exceptions to these controls were discovered during the audit.

“Companies have often expected SOC 2 compliance from solution providers, but are increasingly requiring it in order to do business. As CSS continues to grow, SOC 2 compliance is a top priority in order to meet customer demand and demonstrate our commitment to cybersecurity,” concludes Hess.
