SOC 2 Report validates Clearview AI’s
Proficiency Safeguarding Privacy, in addition to Data Security
Clearview AI, the leading facial recognition search
engine for government agencies, successfully completed its System
and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) examination for compliance with
the security and privacy Trust Services Criteria, certifying the
company maintains effective privacy controls. This builds upon
Clearview AI’s previous SOC 2 certification, certifying the
company’s controls over the security of its clients’ data. The
examination was conducted by Insight Assurance.
SOC 2 is an auditing procedure conducted by licensed and
regulated certified public accountants who rigorously inspect the
controls implemented by data service providers to ensure that they
adhere to their stated commitments regarding secure management and
accurate processing of data. This protects the interests of the
organization and the privacy of its clients by providing proof of
responsible customer data management. Widely considered the highest
standard of cybersecurity certification, SOC 2 is intended to
safeguard a company’s interests and intellectual property when
utilizing data service providers.
Hoan Ton-That, Founder and CEO of Clearview AI, stated:
“Clearview AI continues to achieve the highest level of third-party
verifications for our data security, cybersecurity and internal
security policies and procedures. This certification builds upon
our previous successful SOC 2 audits, to show the highest standard
for protecting the privacy of the data we hold.”
Clearview AI has maintained its SOC 2 security compliance since
February 2022. The additional validation of Clearview AI’s privacy
controls makes it the most secure facial recognition platform
today.
The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) outlines principles and
criteria for SOC 2 examinations which include exacting standards
for security, cybersecurity, availability, process integrity and
confidentiality. These encompass access control, two-factor
authentication, encryption, as well as processing and performance
monitoring, among others.
