StatusCast, a leading SaaS provider of Corporate Status Pages, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 attestation engagement covering the trust principles of Security, Confidentially, and Availability.

An unqualified opinion was issued that provides StatusCast’s clients an assurance that controls implemented by StatusCast were suitably designed to meet or exceed the prescribed criteria for each trust principle as defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The criteria included a review of StatusCast’s policies, procedures, and processes to ensure that confidential client information is handled appropriately while in StatusCast’s possession.

“Corporate status pages are an essential part of an IT department’s incident management workflow, it is paramount that we offer and maintain a secure, reliable, and controlled information infrastructure. The proper handling, maintenance, and security of our clients’ data is of critical importance for establishing trust and credibility, and the reason why we are one of the first companies in our industry to successfully complete a SOC 2 attestation engagement.”

Furthermore, he added,
