Niural is thrilled to announce the successful completion of its Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 examination. The audit affirms that Niural's controls are designed and operating effectively to protect customer data across 150+ countries. This certification provides independent validation of the company's robust security posture for businesses that trust Niural with sensitive HR and payroll information.
What is SOC 2 Type 2 and Why It Matters
Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is a rigorous security framework that sets criteria for managing customer data. While a Type 1 report assesses the design of security controls at a single point in time, a Type 2 report goes a step further by evaluating the operational effectiveness of those controls over a sustained period. Niural's SOC 2 Type 2 certification specifically covers the Security and Availability Criteria.
For an AI-driven HR and payroll platform, these two criteria are paramount. The Security criterion ensures that the platform is protected against unauthorized access, use, or modification, while the Availability criterion ensures that the platform is accessible as stipulated by contract or service level agreement.
What This Certification Means for Our Customers
Niural's SOC 2 Type 2 certification provides customers with several key benefits:
- Security: Niural employs reasonable security measures, including encryption at rest and in transit, network segmentation, multi-factor authentication for production systems, intrusion detection, anti-malware protection, and continuous monitoring with automated threat detection.
- Availability: Customers can rely on the Niural platform to be available when they need it. Validated disaster recovery and data backup procedures further reduce the risk of disruption.
