KnowBe4 successfully completed the SOC 2 Type 1 examination in April, and immediately initiated action to achieve a SOC 2 Type 2 status. The examination that led to compliance with the demanding SOC 2 Type 2 data security standards was administered by the professional IT compliance and audit staff at 360 Advanced, a national HITRUST CSF, Qualified Security Assessor and Certified Public Accountant firm based in St. Petersburg, FL. “We are in the security business, so we must hold ourselves to the very highest standards of privacy and protection of personally identifiable information, and the annual SOC reports by outside third parties attest to the culture of security here at KnowBe4,” said Brian Jack, Chief Informtion Security Officer for KnowBe4. “Having achieved these SOC standards streamlines the path to onboarding a customer because they are aware of the rigorous standards we adhere to manage their data.
