RapidCanvas Is Now SOC 2 Type 2 Compliant

In the era of AI and ML, the role of data security is more critical than ever before. With businesses turning to AI to improve efficiency and drive innovation, the continuous movement and storage of data in tremendous amounts is certain. Ensuring the protection of this data and sensitive information is paramount. RapidCanvas has taken a significant step forward in this direction by achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. This achievement stands testament to RapidCanvas’s dedication to safeguarding customer data and maintaining the highest standards of security.

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2, which stands for Service Organization Control 2, is a widely recognized standard administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), to assess the information security protocols and controls followed within an organization. A SOC 2 audit focuses on controls grouped into five categories called Trust Service Criteria. The five categories are security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of data within organizations.SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, in particular, involves a thorough examination of the organization's controls and procedures over an extended period, typically six to twelve months. This extended evaluation ensures that the organization's security practices are not just a one-time effort but are consistently upheld over time.
