Striim is now SOC 2 Type 1 Certified

As a unified data streaming and integration company, the Striim platform sits at the heart of our customers’ data architecture. It is crucial that our customers trust our software, and our company, to always do the right thing from a security perspective.

With that in mind, we are thrilled to announce that Striim is now officially SOC 2 Type 1 certified. 

A SOC 2 assessment report provides detailed information and assurance about an organization’s security, confidentiality, availability, processing integrity, and/or privacy controls, based on their assurance of compliance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Services Principles and Criteria for Security. A SOC 2 report is often the primary document that the security departments of our customers will rely on to assess Striim’s ability to maintain adequate security.

SOC 2 compliance comes in two forms: the SOC 2 Type 1 report which describes the design of the controls we have in place to meet relevant trust criteria at specific point in time; and a SOC 2 Type 2 report which details the operational effectiveness of those controls over a specified period of time. These reports are the results of audits performed by independent third parties, in our case Grant Thornton LLP.

We have completed SOC 2 Type 1 and are in the process of the requisite assessments over time to complete SOC 2 Type 2.

To achieve this certification, we have undergone a year-long effort to ensure that our people, principles, and processes are fully aligned with the level of security our customers would expect from a SaaS company. This has involved investments in training and new technologies to help automate processes and protect infrastructure, and a lot of documentation, reporting, and continual internal reviews.

The scope of the report covers all people, systems, and processes involved in getting the Striim software into the hands of our customers, whether they are using Striim on-premise, in their own cloud environment, utilizing containers, or are one of the initial Striim Cloud private preview customers.

 

SOC 2 is not just a certification, it is a way of thinking, and a journey that requires a deep dive into everything you do. Completing this certification has given us the opportunity to solidify security as a number one operating principle within the company, and ensure that all actions involve security considerations. Now that we have all of the required controls in place, we are working diligently to show how we can maintain those controls throughout the year, as we work towards SOC 2 Type 2 certification. We’ll keep you posted.
