What is SOC2?
SOC2 is a set of guidelines that helps companies prove they're adhering to best practices in security and privacy. It covers things like:
The way you manage your data, including how you store it, who has access to it, and what steps you take to ensure that data isn't leaked or stolen.
How well trained your employees are on security protocols (this includes both technical training and awareness).
The steps taken by management when something goes wrong with those protocols--for example, if someone accidentally sends out an email containing sensitive information without first encrypting it.
Why SOC2 Matters for Batik?
SOC2 compliance is essential for Batik because it helps us to keep customer data safe and secure.
The SOC2 report is a comprehensive review of our internal controls, policies, and procedures that ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information. It also measures how well we protect against fraud or theft by outsiders.
What Batik Does to Achieve SOC2 Compliance?
Batik does everything it can to protect your data. All of our security protocols are SOC2 compliant, including:
- Encryption. We encrypt all data at rest and in transit so that only authorized users can access it.
- Data storage and transmission. We store your information on secure servers with limited access privileges, and we use secure connections when transmitting sensitive information over public networks like the Internet or mobile networks (e.g., HTTPS).
- Access control: You can choose whether or not to share some or all of your personal information with us; we will only use this information for the purpose(s) agreed upon by both parties when entering into our agreement with you (and only if there is no other legal basis for doing so).
