Jobright Has Completed Its SOC 2 Audit
What Is SOC 2 & Why Is It Important?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Controls 2) is a compliance framework governed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). A SOC 2 audit is conducted by an independent third-party auditor who evaluates an organization’s controls related to security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy.
Completing a SOC 2 audit demonstrates a company’s commitment to protecting customer data and operating systems in accordance with industry-recognized security standards.
Strengthening Our Security Posture
At Jobright, protecting user and customer data has always been a top priority. As an AI-native career and recruiting platform, we handle sensitive information such as resumes, career history, and employer hiring data. Ensuring the security and reliability of our systems is foundational to earning trust.
Completing our SOC 2 audit marks an important milestone in strengthening our security posture. Through this process, our security controls and policies were independently reviewed to confirm they are appropriately designed to safeguard our platform and customer data.
Why We Pursued SOC 2
As Jobright continues to grow and work with more job seekers, employers, and enterprise partners, we recognized the importance of formalizing and validating our security practices early.
SOC 2 provides third-party assurance that we have established strong security controls to manage risk and protect customer information. This milestone reflects our commitment to building a scalable and trustworthy platform as we continue to expand.
