Cybersecurity provider Blumira is now officially SOC 2 Type 2 certified following the successful completion of its Type 2 examination. Blumira’s cloud security information and event management (SIEM) helps organizations of all sizes with limited security resources detect and respond to cybersecurity threats faster to stop ransomware and breaches.

To achieve this critical third-party assessment, Blumira underwent a rigorous independent audit performed by certified public accountant (CPA) firm ByteChek Assurance to ensure that Blumira’s security protocols and use of data meet the strict data security requirements established by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). This certification builds on Blumira completing its SOC 2 Type 1 examination in October 2021.

Blumira’s SOC 2 Type 2 report provides detailed information and assurance about the security, availability, and integrity of the systems used to process users’ data, and the confidentiality and privacy of the information those systems process. These reports help customers, MSPs, and partners assess Blumira’s systems and the suitability of the design of the company’s controls, as they can gain insight into Blumira’s security processes, internal governance and risk management processes, and regulatory oversight.

Blumira is committed to security, reliability, and compliance within its internal organization, and Blumira’s team is committed to helping customers and partners understand and achieve compliance regulations quickly and easily. Blumira’s platform helps organizations meet compliance, such as the updated Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule.

Business and IT leaders must prioritize implementing solutions and processes to meet these new requirements, with the impending deadline of December 9, 2022.
