Is M1 Data & Analytics SOC II Compliant?

SOC II compliance primarily applies to organizations that manage customer data on cloud-based infrastructure or handle sensitive financial-level data. M1 does not house data on cloud-based infrastructure nor compile or aggregate financial-level data.

Why Doesn't M1 Require SOC II Compliance?

SOC II (Service Organization Control 2) certification is designed to ensure that service providers securely manage data to protect the privacy and interests of their clients. However, the applicability of SOC II depends on:

  1. Cloud-Based Infrastructure: SOC II applies to organizations hosting or processing customer data in cloud environments. M1 does not utilize cloud-based systems for data storage or processing.

  2. Financial-Level Data: SOC II also focuses on systems that manage or process sensitive financial or personal data. M1’s services do not involve the aggregation or compilation of financial-level data.

Because M1 operates outside the parameters that necessitate SOC II compliance, certification is neither required nor relevant to our operational framework.

How Does M1 Ensure Data Security and Integrity?

While SOC II compliance may not apply to M1, we prioritize robust data security and integrity by implementing the following measures:

1. Data Encryption

  • In Transit: All data transmitted within M1 systems or with external parties is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. This ensures that any intercepted data remains unreadable to unauthorized parties.
  • At Rest: Any sensitive data stored within our infrastructure is encrypted using advanced encryption standards (AES), which provide a high level of security against unauthorized access.

2. Access Controls

M1 enforces strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. This includes multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access, and activity logging to track access attempts.

3. Monitoring and Auditing

Our systems are continuously monitored for potential vulnerabilities or unauthorized access. Regular audits and reviews are conducted to assess compliance with internal security policies.

4. Secure Development Practices

We adhere to secure coding practices and conduct regular security testing of our systems to minimize risks associated with software vulnerabilities.

5. Compliance with Relevant Standards

M1 complies with industry standards and regulations that align with our specific operations, even though SOC II certification is not applicable.

FAQs

1. What is SOC II Compliance?

SOC II compliance ensures service providers adhere to principles like security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy when handling customer data on cloud systems.

2. Can M1 become SOC II compliant in the future?

If M1's operations change to include cloud-based infrastructure or handling financial-level data, SOC II compliance could be evaluated and pursued as necessary.

3. How does M1 protect data if not SOC II certified?

M1 safeguards data by employing strong encryption methods both in transit and at rest, along with robust access controls, monitoring, and compliance with relevant industry standards.
