Zephior, Switzerland's leading AI-powered RFP automation platform, has officially begun its SOC 2 Type II audit process, marking another significant milestone in our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.

This comprehensive audit will evaluate our systems and controls over an extended observation period, focusing on three critical Trust Services Criteria:

1. Security: Protecting system resources against unauthorized access

2. Availability: Ensuring systems are available for operation and use as committed

3. Confidentiality: Protecting confidential information throughout its lifecycle

The SOC 2 Type II certification, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is globally recognized as one of the most rigorous compliance standards for technology companies. Unlike the Type I audit that provides a point-in-time snapshot, Type II examines the effectiveness of an organization's controls over a minimum period of 3 months.

"As we handle sensitive RFP data for companies in highly regulated industries, security isn't just a feature – it's fundamental to our existence," says Tony Kim, Founder and CEO of Zephior. "This audit reinforces our commitment to protecting our clients' data and maintaining their trust as we create quality time for meaningful work."

This initiative follows our existing security measures, including:

• ISO 27001 compliance

• GDPR adherence

• Swiss data center hosting

• Comprehensive AI governance framework

The audit is expected to conclude in Q2 2024, adding another layer to Zephior's robust security infrastructure. For more information about Zephior's security measures, visit our Trust Center.
