Acknowledging Springshare's Continued Dedication to Data Security and Privacy
MIAMI (October 11, 2024) - Springshare is proud to share that it has successfully maintained System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II compliance, for the third year running. Springshare's focus on privacy protection and data security is paramount to all operations.
SOC 2 is a comprehensive auditing process developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and is considered the gold standard for proper security assessment. It is an extensive procedure involving independent auditors that requires systemwide cooperation.
As a leading cloud software vendor for libraries, Springshare builds tools with the highest privacy and accessibility standards available to ensure customer data is secure. Slaven Zivkovic, Springshare Founder and CEO, stated, "Over the course of the last three years, Springshare has grown substantially, and maintaining SOC 2 Type II compliance ensures that we can scale securely, with protocols and workflows in place that protect the privacy and data of our customers and their patrons."
He adds that "achieving and maintaining this significant milestone reiterates to our customers and partners that we, as an organization, value the security of our customers' data." Springshare is also pursuing other industry standard certifications including StateRAMP compliance and, eventually, FedRAMP compliance.
Data security best practices require adapting and preparing for future standards, and, as a growing organization, Springshare is invested in upholding these values. For more information or to access Springshare's SOC 2 report, Springshare customers may reach out to the Springshare Support team.
