SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Datalink Networks, a nationally recognized managed services, cybersecurity, cloud, and IT consulting provider, today announced its successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 examination as of August 27, 2026. The independent examination evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of controls supporting Datalink's IT Managed and Consulting System against the Security Trust Services Criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The assessment confirmed that controls were suitably designed and operated effectively throughout the review period.
Scope of the examination: Datalink Networks' IT Managed and Consulting System was assessed against the AICPA Security Trust Services Criteria, evaluating the effectiveness of the organization's security, risk management, access controls, monitoring, incident response, and change management practices. The examination reviewed controls operating from April 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026.
The SOC 2 audit was conducted by A-LIGN, a leading provider of cybersecurity compliance assessments trusted by more than 4,000 organizations worldwide.
SOC 2 is one of the most widely recognized cybersecurity compliance frameworks for service organizations and demonstrates an organization's commitment to maintaining robust security controls and protecting customer information. Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance provides customers, partners, and stakeholders with independent validation that Datalink has implemented and maintained effective safeguards to support the security of its services.
"SOC 2 compliance is more than an audit milestone; it reflects the culture of security, discipline, and continuous improvement that we have built across our organization," said Amr Salah, Director of Engineering at Datalink Networks. "Protecting our clients' environments is a responsibility we take seriously. This independent validation confirms that the controls, procedures, and safeguards we have implemented are operating effectively and supporting our mission to deliver secure, dependable, and scalable IT services."
Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company's infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.
