Rigorous certification process confirms company’s ability to provide enterprise-grade security in the public cloud.
2nd Watch has announced its completion of the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 certification, governed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). The SOC2 report confirms that 2nd Watch has achieved compliance with SOC2 requirements for security, availability and confidentiality. 2nd Watch is the first public cloud-native, AWS Managed Service Partner, to achieve SOC2 certification. Other MSPs claiming SOC2 are referring to products supporting physical versus public cloud assets.
"For the first time, a third-party organization has validated a core traditional data center ops compliance framework for a cloud-born, AWS Managed Service Partner," says Kris Bliesner, co-founder and CTO at 2nd Watch. "This is a big step toward providing banks, insurance companies, healthcare providers and other large enterprises with the confidence they need to run business-critical apps and data analytics in the public cloud. It also underscores our ability to not only architect SOC2 certified public cloud solutions, but to manage them as well. That customers can get both services from a single provider is immensely valuable."
