Carbonhound Achieves SOC 2 Type 1 Compliance

We are excited to announce that Carbonhound has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance! 

This marks an important milestone in our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of data security and regulatory compliance for our business and our customers.

SOC 2, short for Service Organization Control 2, is a framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to address the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance means that our internal controls and processes have been rigorously assessed and validated by an independent third-party auditor – Insight Assurance.

Carbonhound has access to data from many facets of a business including accounting, operations, procurement, and beyond. This makes it even more important for us to ensure that sensitive data is handled with the utmost care, protecting our clients from potential vulnerabilities and safeguarding their climate data. 

Our attainment of SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is part of our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of security. This achievement reaffirms Carbonhound’s position as a reliable and secure partner in the digital carbon accounting landscape.
