The report was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
SOC 2 Type 1 evaluates the design of an organization’s internal controls related to key trust principles.

The process involved implementing and validating 108 distinct controls across multiple internal teams.
The attestation reassures customers that Keepit’s security practices are designed to safeguard data effectively.

This is particularly important for its customers who rely on Keepit to safeguard their critical SaaS data.

To secure the attestation, Keepit undertook a comprehensive, cross-departmental effort.
