JSCM Group Successfully Completes SOC 2 Type 2 Examination
JSCM Group solidifies its commitment to Global Security Standards and best practices by successfully implementing controls that build stronger trust and more secure interactions between businesses and customers.
Huntersville, NC, November 16th, 2022—JSCM Group, premier cybersecurity experts and industry leader, announced today the successful completion of its 2022 Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 examination, which ensures compliance with the leading industry standards for managing data. JSCM Group opted to undergo this voluntary audit to ensure that all company strategies are aligned with the common goal of protecting client information.
The SOC 2 audit was conducted by leading compliance assessor A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance partner trusted by more than 2,500 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.
"JSCM Group decided to embark on this rigorous type of audit, not by the request of a customer, but through a desire to be better for our clients,” said John Stengel, CEO of JSCM Group. “Our management team strives to be genuine and walk-the-walk of security. During this process we identified a number of areas that needed improvement and our entire team put in the work and commitment to improve any problem areas. I am proud of the controls we have in place today and my hope is to not only meet global standards, but exceed them whenever possible. We have to do better and hold our partners to a higher standard – doing so will enable a giant leap forward within the security industry. At JSCM Group we will never wait to be told that it is needed to maintain a standard – we will always implement the next step forward when it comes to our security.”
Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.
“A SOC 2 audit is a statement about an organization’s commitment to protecting their information.” said Stephanie Oyler-Rankin, SOC Practice Lead at A-LIGN. “As a trusted third-party assessment firm, A-LIGN independently evaluates client data processes and procedures, governance on internal controls and security posture. JSCM Group’s SOC 2 report validates its commitment to data security and protection, as well as compliance with critical standards to mitigate cybersecurity threats.”
JSCM Group will perform a SOC 2 assessment on an annual basis and can make the report available to current or potential customers upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
