Lazarus Alliance, a top-rated cybersecurity, governance, risk and compliance (GRC) firm, today announces its support of MarkLogic Corporation, the next-generation data platform provider for simplifying data integration.Lazarus Allianceperformed an independent AT-101 Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) Type II audit, to ensure MarkLogic's fully automated cloud service, Data Hub Service, had the proper proactive cybersecurity policies and conducted penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
Part of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) SOC reporting framework, the SOC 2 utilizes the AT-101 professional standard. It was specifically designed for technology service providers that store customer data in the cloud and assess the extent to which a service provider complies with one or more of the AICPA Trust Principles based on the systems and processes the provider has in place. MarkLogic's SOC 2 attestation covers all five AICPA Trust Principles: Security, Privacy, Availability, Confidentiality and Integrity.
'While SOC 2 attestations are not mandated by law, undergoing an SOC 2 audit is a clear competitive differentiator for cloud service providers, especially in an increasingly dangerous cyber-threat environment,' said Michael Peters, CEO of Lazarus Alliance. 'Releasing an SOC 2 attestation demonstrates that the provider has comprehensive, time-tested, proven internal controls in line with the AICPA Trust Principles.'
To perform this work, Lazarus Alliance used theContinuum GRCIT Audit Machine (ITAM), a GRC automation solution that integrates governance, risk and compliance processes.
'The Continuum GRC ITAM tool used by Lazarus Alliance, with its built-in guidance, makes it easier to enter information required for certifications,' said Tom Thomassen, Senior Staff Engineer, Security at MarkLogic.
'When using manual processes like spreadsheets, SOC 2 audits take an extraordinary amount of time and manpower to complete. It also makes it very difficult to maintain compliance between audits,' Peters explained. 'ITAM automates the audit process, saving the organization a lot of time and money. Additionally, its self-help modules simplify the process of maintaining compliance between audits.'
