In our recent blog posts, we announced Rownd’s achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 certification and provided an in-depth look into the rigorous process we underwent to attain it. This milestone underscores our commitment to security, privacy, and operational excellence. But what does this mean for you, our valued customers? How can you leverage our SOC 2 certification to benefit your own business? Let’s explore.
Streamlining Your Own Certification Process
For many businesses, achieving SOC 2 certification can be a daunting and resource-intensive process. By partnering with Rownd, you can simplify this journey:
- Leveraging Our Certification: Using Rownd as a SOC 2 Type 2 certified provider means you can point to our certification as part of your own security and compliance efforts. This can significantly reduce the complexity and time required to obtain your own certification.
- Documentation and Evidence: Our SOC 2 report can serve as valuable documentation and evidence when demonstrating your own security practices to auditors. It shows that you are partnering with a trusted and certified provider.
Reducing Cyber Liability Insurance Costs
Cyber liability insurance is a critical safeguard for any business handling sensitive data. By storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with a SOC 2 certified provider like Rownd, you can potentially lower your insurance premiums:
- Risk Mitigation: Insurance companies often offer lower premiums to businesses that have robust security measures in place. By using Rownd’s certified services, you demonstrate a commitment to high security standards, reducing your overall risk profile.
- Policy Discounts: Many insurers provide discounts for businesses that store data with SOC 2 certified providers. Highlighting Rownd’s certification to your insurance company can result in tangible cost savings on your cyber liability insurance.
Enhancing Data Security and Customer Confidence
Security breaches and data leaks can severely damage your reputation and erode customer trust. Partnering with Rownd provides peace of mind and builds confidence among your customers:
- Data Protection: Our SOC 2 Type 2 certification means that we have implemented and continuously monitor rigorous controls to protect your data. This ensures that your sensitive information is safeguarded against unauthorized access and breaches.
- Trust and Credibility: Your customers can have confidence that their data is being handled securely. This trust can enhance your reputation and give you a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Structurally Decreasing Liability
Moving more data to Rownd not only enhances security but also structurally decreases your liability:
- Centralized Security: By consolidating your data with a trusted, certified provider, you reduce the complexity of managing multiple security systems and protocols. This centralization minimizes the risk of security gaps and breaches.
- Compliance Assurance: With Rownd’s certification, you can be assured that the highest standards of compliance and security are being met. This reduces the risk of regulatory fines and penalties associated with data mishandling.
- Proactive Monitoring: Our continuous monitoring and vulnerability scanning services, in partnership with OneLeet, ensure that potential threats are identified and mitigated in real-time. This proactive approach further decreases the likelihood of security incidents.
