- SOC or System and Organizations Control is a suite of reports that demonstrate effectiveness in information security controls.
- The SOC 2 Type 1 certification shows that ANACITY’s internal information security controls are based on five Trust Services Criteria – security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
- The certification also ensures that clients’ data on the platform remains safe and secure.
As data becomes one of the most valuable commodities, there has been increasing concern regarding its security. As a SaaS platform, data security has always been of prime importance for ANACITY. Our data security framework was built to protect the confidentiality, privacy, and integrity of user data.
ANACITY has now acquired SOC or System and Organizations Control 2 Type 1 certification. This recognition further confirms our security design controls after the company was awarded the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Certification in 2022. Awarded by independent third-party accredited auditors, these dual certifications show ANACITY commitment to continuously enhance its security infrastructure and adhere to strict security protocols.
What SOC 2 Type 1 certification?
SOC or System and Organizations Control is a suite of reports that demonstrate effectiveness in information security controls. SOC 2 reports check if an organisation’s internal information security controls are based on five Trust Services Criteria – security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
ANACITY passed a rigorous assessment process by an independent auditor to get the certification. The company had to furnish detailed accounts for various processes and functions, including fire safety, Human Resource policies, data access and storage. The SOC 2 Type I report covers the suitability of design controls and the operating effectiveness of our systems.
Why it matters?
SOC 2 certification assures that
- ANACITY has the required data security controls to protect customer data against unauthorised access.
- ANACITY’s internal controls detect anomalies and security incidents across the entire ecosystem.
- Besides preventing risk situations, ANACITY is equipped to quickly repair damage and restore functionality in the event of a data breach or system failure.
How it makes a difference to you?
As a mobile-first SaaS platform to automate community management, ANACITY is leveraged by developers, owner and resident associations, facility managers, admins, and property management teams to improve operational efficiency and enhance security. ANACITY’s SOC 2 Type 1 certification, hence, impacts their security controls. With this certification, they are assured of:
Keeping information safe: A SOC 2 Type 1 certified platform ensures that you have the infra in place to protect data confidentiality.
Maintaining trust: Given its importance, maintaining data sacrosanctity is now critical for maintaining customer trust and confidence that the organisation will keep their information safe.
Ensuring compliance: Data protection is now legally mandatory across different countries, including the UAE. Owner Associations and developers are thus responsible for safeguarding their clients’ personal information. ANACITY’s SOC 2 Type 1 ensures that their portfolio data is protected.
Preventing loss/theft: Data breach makes an organisation vulnerable to financial loss as personal data can be easily mined for more serious financial crimes. Other than theft, data is also vulnerable to accidents like fire. The SOC 2 Type 1 certification proves that ANACITY has adequate safeguards against both possibilities.
