Aviso Enhances Security of Customer Data with SOC 2, Type II Certification

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviso (www.aviso.com), the leading predictive insights software company designed to empower sales teams to optimize their performance and exceed their revenue goals, announced it has successfully completed the SOC 2 Type II audit under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) guidelines.

The examination, performed by Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP, a Bay Area CPA firm experienced in SOC examinations, included controls over Aviso's human resources, communication, risk management, technology, logical access, software development, monitoring, and data backup.

"A SOC examination is a rigorous test for a company to pass," said Nelly Spieler, Senior Manager at Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP. "Aviso has worked hard over a six-month period to establish strong controls over the Aviso Insights™ platform and effectively implement them. We reviewed and tested more than 60 controls related to data security, availability, and confidentiality."

"We decided earlier than any software company to invest into the SOC 2 certification process because it is critical for current and potential customers to know their data is safe and secure. The physical, logical, and methodological security measures that Aviso has instituted have been validated through this certification and confirmed as exemplary in the cloud-computing field. This report and the audit provides trasparency to our customers so they have a full understanding of the controls we have in place to protect their data," says K. V. Rao, CEO and Co-Founder.

The SOC 2 audit is a widely recognized, thorough examination of a service organization's standards and controls around the following five Trust Services Principles:

• Security: The system is protected against unauthorized access (both physical and logical).
• Availability: The system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
• Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, accurate, timely, and authorized.
• Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed.
• Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and destroyed in conformity with the commitments in the entity's privacy notice and with criteria set forth in generally accepted privacy principles issued by the AICPA and Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA).
