What is SOC 2 Compliance?

In short, SOC 2 is a voluntary compliance standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) which specifies how an organization should manage customer data. The compliance guidelines ensure services are secure, available, and confidential and that information security best practices are in place.

What Being SOC 2 Compliant Means for VAT IT Reclaim

As the leading service provider in VAT recovery, VAT IT Reclaim understands the importance of data security and privacy. Our commitment to safeguarding our customers’ sensitive information is at the core of our operations. 

With the achievement of SOC 2 compliance, we have solidified our dedication to implementing industry-leading security practices, ensuring that your data remains protected throughout its lifecycle within our platform.

Our SOC 2 report isn’t about just checking another box. We have taken information security and compliance very seriously from day one and so, and our report is the official proof that we comply with the globally-recognized information security standard. 

So, What Exactly Gets Evaluated?

Our audit covered Security as part of the SOC 2’s key Trust Service Principles relevant to VAT IT Reclaim’s specific business operations. Multiple tests were performed to ensure that our internal controls are implemented and operating effectively.

Scytale helped tailor the relevant controls to our infrastructure, software, processes, people, and data, relating to, amongst other things:

  • Remote onboarding of employees
  • Cloud infrastructure security
  • Risk management
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • User access review
  • Threat detection
  • Change management procedures
  • Assets management
  • Data encryption
  • Secure development and more

As mentioned, we’ve built our solution around being SOC 2 compliant, but now we’re proud to have the “official” stamp that recognizes our concrete data protection practices.

We achieved SOC 2 compliance and received our report in a record-breaking time with clear colors, due to the fact that we had no prior security issues and there were very minor remediations needed. We are very proud of this result, as it is a testament to our high standards of controls and security standards.
