Affise Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance
Affise has successfully completed the SOC 2 Type II audit in 2023. This certification reaffirms Affise's commitment to the Saas industry's most stringent standards. Coupled with the ePrivacyseal obtained in 2020, SOC 2 certification demonstrates Affise's dedication to protecting user data and ensuring transparency and reliability.
SOC 2 is an auditing procedure based on the standards developed by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA). SOC 2 implies assessing the company’s compliance to the “trust service principles” — security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy of a system.
By completing SOC 2 Type II certification, Affise has confirmed its business process, information technology, and risk management controls compliance to the industry’s most high standards. This certification has also improved the platform, services, and the organization’s security.
For customers, SOC 2 certification is evidence of Affise's safety, transparency, and reliability.
To pass the certification for SOC 2 Type II, Affise got its internal controls, policies, and processes thoroughly reviewed by a third-party audition organization in the duration of 11 months. The audit also included a review of risk management processes and IT infrastructure, software development life cycle, change management, logical security, network security, physical & environmental security, and computer operations.
In 2020, Affise obtained ePrivacyseal, which demonstrates the company’s compliance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Thus, Affise ensures confidentiality and safety of customer data and security from unauthorized access, processing, and disclosure. The SOC 2 Type II certification is a new step to ensure and increase the safety and reliability of Affise services for partners and customers.
Building a transparent and reliable partnership marketing solution, Affise is dedicated to keeping the user data and privacy protected and providing top-notch service to its customers.
SOC 2 Type II is an auditing standard established by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates a company’s internal controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy over an extended period. For customers using partner marketing technology, this certification serves as verifiable proof that their sensitive data is protected by rigorous operational, technical, and risk management safeguards. It assures enterprise clients that the platform maintains top-tier data handling practices and system reliability.

The certification involved a comprehensive 11-month audit conducted by an independent third-party auditing organization. During this rigorous evaluation period, auditors inspected internal policies, business processes, risk management framework, and IT infrastructure. Key operational areas examined included the software development life cycle, logical and network security, physical security, change management, and computer operations. This extensive audit confirmed that Affise’s security controls function effectively over time rather than just at a single point in time.

The SOC 2 Type II certification builds directly upon Affise’s existing privacy compliance achievements, such as earning the ePrivacyseal in 2020 to certify compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). While privacy regulations like the GDPR focus on consumer data protection laws and user rights, SOC 2 Type II focuses on internal operational security, data integrity, and system availability. Together, these frameworks ensure end-to-end protection against unauthorized access, data loss, or improper processing across all services.
