Whether you choose to use our cloud-based services or use our products on your own infrastructure, IDBS’s compliance in this area is pivotal.
IDBS has a long track record in operating to internationally recognized standards to ensure our products and services meet and exceed our customers’ needs and expectations, and we continually look to develop this as those needs and expectations evolve.
The first Electronic Lab Notebook provider to achieve SOC 2 compliance
Further to our existing ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, IDBS has successfully completed a SOC 2 audit, resulting in a type 2 audit report. This achievement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to continue to meet the rigorous and evolving demands of information security.
What SOC 2 means for IDBS customers
By achieving SOC 2 compliance, we ensure that our information security measures are in line with industry-wide standards and expectations regarding information security – giving our customers confidence in the robust controls we have established.
SOC 2 requires service organizations to establish and follow strict information security policies, procedures and controls encompassing the security, availability, and confidentiality of customer data.
The audit was undertaken by CyberGuard Compliance, LLC to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria, and showed that IDBS has established a framework for internal controls that facilitates accountability and a commitment to security.
The IDBS framework enables operating effectiveness, increased efficiencies and reduced costs, which translates into a platform that is safe, secure, and adds value, while helping to build increased trust and transparency with customers.
A copy of IDBS’s SOC 2 type 2 report is available for customers subject to suitable confidentiality arrangements. For more information please contact your Account Manager or Customer Success Manager.
