About the SOC 2 Audit
SOC 2, a certification established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates companies on their Trust Services Principles and Criteria, including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of their data management systems. It has become an industry standard for cloud-based technology companies and is the same standard held by Amazon Web Services and Google that validates the security of their infrastructure.
Lifequotes.com underwent in-depth assessment by a third-party auditor to confirm compliance with this standard. The process requires comprehensive, written documentation of information security policies and procedures in addition to a technology examination that proves a company's ability to maintain these standards over time.
