Boostlingo officially renewed its SOC 2 Type II certification for Boostlingo On-Demand and Boostlingo IMS.
At Boostlingo, data security and compliance are woven into the very fabric of our company—they guide our decision-making, shape our infrastructure, and define how we serve our customers and partners. Achieving this renewal reinforces our ongoing commitment to data privacy, security, and operational excellence. Our customers and partners—whether in healthcare, education, legal, business, or government settings—trust us with their most sensitive data, and we take that responsibility seriously.
What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?
SOC 2 Type II is a widely recognized security standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It ensures that a company follows strict guidelines for managing and protecting customer data.
Unlike SOC 2 Type I, which evaluates security controls at a single point, SOC 2 Type II compliance requires an independent audit over several months to verify that security policies and practices are consistently followed. This means our systems, infrastructure, and internal processes aren’t just compliant on paper; they have proven effective over time.
SOC 2 Type II audits assess five key areas, also known as Trust Services Criteria:
- Security – Protecting systems and data against unauthorized access
- Availability – Ensuring systems are operational and reliable
- Processing Integrity – Guaranteeing that data is processed accurately and on time
- Confidentiality – Ensuring that sensitive information is adequately protected
- Privacy – Safeguarding personal information according to recognized people
What’s Involved in the Renewal Process?
The rigorous renewal process ensures that our security controls remain effective over time. Here’s how we break it down:
Continuous Monitoring & Internal Audits
- We proactively monitor our systems, access controls, and security policies to detect and mitigate risks in real-time.
- Internal audits assess compliance with SOC 2 criteria, identifying potential gaps before external auditors step in.
Policy & Process Updates
- Security policies evolve alongside new regulatory requirements, emerging threats, and best practices.
- We conduct mandatory security training for employees to reinforce proper data handling, phishing prevention, and role-based access management.
- Incident response and disaster recovery plans are tested and updated to ensure preparedness for potential security events.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management
- We evaluate and monitor the security posture of our third-party vendors and service providers, ensuring that any external tools or integrations meet the same high standards.
- Vendor contracts include strict security obligations requiring compliance with SOC 2 and related standards.
- Ongoing risk assessments allow us to mitigate potential third-party vulnerabilities before they impact our platform.
Independent Audit & Validation
- An external auditor thoroughly reviews our security controls, processes, and adherence to SOC 2 principles.
- This assessment verifies that we continue to meet (or exceed) industry standards.
Why This Matters for Our Customers & Partners
By maintaining SOC 2 Type II compliance, we ensure that our customers and partners can rely on Boostlingo with complete confidence that their data is protected at every level. This renewal confirms:
