Flaviar Inc. Leads the Way in Beverage Alcohol E-Commerce with SOC 2 Certification with Vanta
By setting a new standard for data security and operational transparency, Flaviar not only enhances consumer trust but also helps pave the way for other brands to embrace online sales with confidence
NEW YORK, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Flaviar, leading beverage alcohol ecommerce platform, is pleased to announce their position as the first-ever beverage alcohol focused platform to be SOC 2 Certified via Vanta, the leading trust management platform, paving the way to becoming the largest spirits marketplace available for supplier brands in the country.
SOC2 is a compliance framework used to evaluate and validate an organization's information security practices, widely used in North America, particularly in the SaaS industry. It was created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) as a way to help organizations verify their security and reduce the risk of a security breach.
To receive a SOC 2 certification, an organization's security controls need to be investigated against a set of criteria to verify they've implemented the right policies and protocols to protect your customer's data. A SOC 2 helps build trust with stakeholders and let them know that the measures you have in place to keep their data safe.
"Achieving SOC 2 shows that an organization takes compliance and customer trust seriously," said Boris Logvinsky, VP, Product, Vanta. "Vanta helps companies like Flaviar streamline the path to compliance, making it easier to demonstrate security practices that build credibility and unlock new opportunities."
The process for Flaviar to obtain their SOC 2 certification was notably rigorous, taking approximately seven months in total to complete. Throughout this period, every employee played an active role—contributing to documentation, participating in maintenance activities, and ensuring that compliance standards were met across the organization.
"Becoming the only spirits e-commerce platform to achieve SOC 2 compliance is a clear signal that we take data security seriously," said Adi Pal, CTO at Flaviar. "As more beverage alcohol brands and partners look to scale online, enterprise clients need to know their data is protected. Security is no longer a nice-to-have—it's a deciding factor, and this milestone reinforces Flaviar's commitment to building a trusted, modern platform for the industry."
The significance of Flaviar's latest certification cannot be underestimated, as it is a notable milestone not only for the business, but for their wider position as a thought leader within the broader SaaS industry. See below for more context as to the importance of obtaining this notable certification:
- Builds consumer trust
- Opens doors to more enterprise business opportunities
- Reduces legal and regulatory risks for both Flaviar as well as brands featured on the marketplace
- Improves internal security
- Provides ongoing notable scalability and growth opportunities
