WORDPRESS VIP ACHIEVES SOC 2 TYPE I ATTESTATION, REINFORCING ITS POSITION AS ONE OF THE MOST TRUSTED ENTERPRISE CMS PLATFORMS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WordPress VIP, the enterprise-grade, WordPress-based content management system (CMS) for large enterprise organizations, media brands, and public sector agencies, today announced the successful completion of its SOC 2 Type I attestation, further strengthening its reputation as the most secure, compliant, and enterprise-ready CMS on the market. This milestone comes on the heels of a FedRAMP Moderate authorization, underscoring WordPress VIP's commitment to delivering unmatched peace of mind to global enterprises and public sector organizations alike.

Why SOC 2 Matters for CMS Customers

As digital experiences become central to business growth, enterprises are demanding more from their content management systems: faster publishing, greater agility, and seamless integrations—without sacrificing security or compliance. SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2), developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is a rigorous framework that evaluates how organizations manage and safeguard customer data.

Through an independent audit performed by third-party assessor Fortreum, WordPress VIP has demonstrated that its controls and practices are properly designed and implemented to meet the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria for Security and Availability. For customers, this means independent validation that:

• Sensitive data managed within their CMS is protected by robust, multi-layered security.
• Access controls, monitoring, and safeguards align with enterprise-grade requirements.
• Infrastructure is resilient, redundant, and designed to mitigate downtime or disruption.
• CMS operations meet the strictest standards of reliability and compliance.

In an environment where CMS decisions increasingly influence brand reputation, regulatory exposure, and customer trust, SOC 2 attestation provides confidence that WordPress VIP not only enables innovation, it secures it.

Setting a Higher Standard in CMS Security

The SOC 2 achievement builds on WordPress VIP's FedRAMP Moderate authorization, making it one of the only enterprise CMS platforms to meet both federal and enterprise compliance standards. This unique position empowers organizations across industries – including finance, healthcare, media, and government – to deliver digital experiences with speed and scale while operating within the world's most stringent security frameworks.

"For enterprises, the CMS is no longer just a publishing tool, it's a mission-critical platform for growth and customer engagement," said Avik Mohan, Chief Governance, Risk and Compliance Officer of WordPress VIP. "With SOC 2 attestation and FedRAMP authorization, we've proven that organizations don't have to choose between flexibility and compliance. WordPress VIP delivers both."

Empowering Customers to Scale Securely

With SOC 2 and FedRAMP assurances in place, WordPress VIP provides the safest path for the world's largest organizations to embrace the open ecosystem of WordPress. Customers can confidently leverage powerful innovations such as Remote Data Blocks, which bring composability and real-time integrations directly into the editor. By combining rigorous, independently validated security with the flexibility of open source, WordPress VIP offers government agencies a risk-free way to innovate at scale, uniting the speed of modern digital experiences with the trust their agencies demand.
