Reinforcing Our Commitment to Security and Privacy by Design

Trust Stamp is proud to announce that we have achieved SOC 2 compliance, an important validation of our dedication to integrating security and privacy into the core of our services. This compliance, independently attested by Prescient Assurance, demonstrates our unwavering commitment to safeguarding the sensitive information entrusted to us by our clients.

 

What Is SOC 2 Compliance?

  • SOC 2, or System and Organization Controls 2, is an auditing framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that focuses on non-financial reporting controls related to the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. Achieving SOC 2 compliance means that Trust Stamp's systems and processes have been rigorously evaluated and meet the highest standards for managing customer information securely.
  • SOC 2 compliance is essential for organizations like Trust Stamp, which handles sensitive personal and biometric data. It assures our clients that robust controls are in place to protect their information, aligning with our "privacy by design" philosophy.

 

Trust Stamp’s Approach to Security and Privacy

Security and privacy are foundational principles at Trust Stamp, guiding every aspect of our technology design and implementation. Our advanced identity solutions, particularly those involving biometric data, are developed with stringent security measures from the outset. Achieving SOC 2 compliance is a natural extension of this approach, further validating our commitment to protecting our clients' data.

For financial institutions, this means seamless compliance with regulatory standards and a reduced risk of data breaches. For other industries, such as online dating platforms or gaming/gambling, it ensures the highest levels of privacy and security for your users. At Trust Stamp, we’re not just meeting industry standards—we’re exceeding them, so you can trust us with your most sensitive information. 

 

Additional Certifications: D-Seal and Cyber Essentials Plus

 

In addition to SOC 2 compliance, Trust Stamp has also been awarded the D-Seal certification, a unique recognition that combines IT security with responsible data usage. The D-Seal is an initiative from Denmark that sets a high standard for digital accountability, making it easier for companies to showcase their commitment to both security and ethical data practices. This certification aligns Trust Stamp with European standards and the upcoming NIS2 directive, further solidifying our dedication to security and privacy​.

Moreover, Trust Stamp has achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a UK government-backed certification that provides hands-on technical verification of an organization’s cyber security practices. This certification ensures that Trust Stamp’s systems are not only compliant with security standards but are also protected against the most common cyber threats. Cyber Essentials Plus involves rigorous testing, including external vulnerability scans and technical assessments, to validate that our cyber security measures are robust and effective.

Conclusion

Trust Stamp’s SOC 2 compliance, alongside our D-Seal and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, reinforces our commitment to embedding security and privacy into every aspect of our work. These achievements reflect our dedication to protecting the sensitive information entrusted to us, ensuring that our clients can rely on us for secure, privacy-focused solutions.

As we continue to innovate and grow, our focus remains on maintaining the highest standards in the industry. Clients can trust that their data is in secure hands, allowing them to focus on their core business with confidence.
