Lean TECHniques Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance, Reinforcing Commitment to Data Security Excellence

Des Moines, Iowa (July 17, 2024) – Lean TECHniques, a technology and management consultancy, has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance. This is a significant milestone in Lean TECHniques’ pursuit of data security excellence and underscores the company’s commitment to data security and protecting client information with the highest standards of care and confidentiality.

SOC 2 is a framework developed by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants that reports on the controls a service organization has in place related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and/or privacy. Through the audit process, an independent third-party auditor certifies that an organization’s security controls meet stringent industry standards. SOC 2 compliance is commonly pursued by SaaS, PaaS and cloud organizations, but more rare among consultancies.

“Handling sensitive data requires the highest possible standards – not just for our clients’ benefit, but for the technology industry as a whole,” said Lean TECHniques’ Chief Innovation Officer, Tim Gifford. “Our industry can always improve, and by pursuing SOC 2 Type II compliance, we hope to model the way for others in our industry.”

Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance demonstrates Lean TECHniques’ dedication to maintaining rigorous security controls and processes. Lean TECHniques’ SOC 2 Type II compliance brings several key benefits to its clients, including:

1. Enhanced Data Security: Implementation of stringent security controls to safeguard client data.
2. Risk Mitigation: Proactive measures to significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and business disruptions.
3. Peace of Mind: Assurance that Lean TECHniques adheres to strict security standards, allowing clients to focus on their core business activities.
4. Trust and Reliability: Reinforced commitment to building and maintaining trust with every client.
5. Speed-To-Engagement: Streamlined processes mean engagements can start quickly, without the hassle of complicated security audits.

In order to stay in compliance, Lean TECHniques continuously monitors its systems for vulnerabilities and threats, ensuring quick and effective responses to potential risks. Regular employee training on the latest security practices and data protection laws ensures that the team is well-equipped to handle client data securely.
