At CoreStream GRC, we place the protection of our clients’ data at the very top of our priorities. That’s why we’re proud to announce that in January 2025, we’ve achieved SOC 2 Type 2 for Security and Availability. This milestone reflects 9 months of dedicated effort by our team to meet, and exceed, rigorous industry standards.
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2, short for Service Organization Control 2, is an internationally recognized framework designed to evaluate an organization’s ability to protect client data. Unlike one-time assessments or narrowly focused technical audits, SOC 2 evaluates how a company implements, manages, and sustains effective security and availability controls across its systems, processes, and services.
CoreStream GRC’s SOC 2 Type 2 report demonstrates that we’ve implemented best-in-class practices in areas such as:
- Information security and access control
- Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
- Risk management and vendor oversight
This report isn’t just a stamp of approval—it’s a reflection of our commitment to protecting our community’s data and ensuring uninterrupted service availability, even in the face of emerging cybersecurity challenges.
The report goes beyond traditional financial systems audits, extending its scope to include any systems, tools, or processes critical to delivering services. This makes SOC 2 especially relevant for organizations in SaaS, data hosting, and other sectors where client trust is non-negotiable.
At its core, a SOC 2 report highlights the controls in place that safeguard an organization’s systems and services—ensuring your clients and partners can rest easy knowing their data is in capable hands.

By achieving SOC 2 Type 2, we’ve reinforced our promise to safeguard your data and provide uninterrupted service.
