VANCOUVER, BC, May 24, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - Thinkific Labs Inc. ("Thinkific" or the
"Company") (TSX: THNC), a leading platform for creating, marketing,
and selling online learning products, announced today that it has
obtained SOC 2 Type 1 cybersecurity compliance certification
through the successful completion of the Service Organization
Control (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit with no findings.
The required audit was conducted by BDO Canada LLP, a leading
global professional services firm, and the certification affirms
that the Company's information security practices, policies,
procedures, and operations meet the stringent SOC 2 standards for
security.
SOC 2 is a cybersecurity compliance framework that is a widely
recognized and respected compliance standard for companies
entrusted with sensitive data. Thinkific's successful certification
provides enterprise customers and partners with an enhanced level
of confidence, affirming the Company's commitment to maintaining
robust security measures in the storage and processing of client
data.
With the growing reliance on external vendors for essential
business activities and strategies, it has become crucial to
establish high levels of trust and transparency regarding the
operations and processes of cloud service providers. SOC 2 serves
to validate the presence of internal controls that uphold the
security principles outlined in the Trust Services Principles and
Criteria for Security.
"As larger businesses put their faith in our platform to
distribute their learning products and grow their business,
maintaining robust security and data privacy is essential as a
trusted partner," said Greg Smith,
CEO of Thinkific. "The SOC 2 certification is an important
independent validation of our commitment to maintaining the highest
level of security and compliance for our customers."
