CLEARGOALS Completes SOC 2 Type 1 Attestation with Laika

CLEARGOALS is committed to the industry’s highest standards for managing customer data

CLEARGOALS, an Enterprise Marketing Technology consultancy, announced they have completed the SOC 2 Type 1 attestation.

SOC 2 is a rigorous compliance standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that is designed to specify how organizations should manage customer data. As part of the attestation process, CLEARGOALS completed a thorough SOC 2 Type 1 compliance audit, providing documentation on processes, data management infrastructure, and a progressive approach to data access permissions.

While the Type 1 audit is not a required prerequisite to Type 2, organizations like CLEARGOALS who complete the Type 1 first are helping to mitigate potential audit loops and timeline extensions by ensuring their compliance program design is fundamentally sound before entering the Type 2 observation period.

To earn this attestation, CLEARGOALS partnered with Laika, a compliance-as-a-service platform that helps companies manage infosec and privacy compliance, obtain security certifications and build credibility with their customers. CLEARGOALS executed SOC 2 Type 1 by working with Laika’s integrated audit feature via Laika Compliance, LLC.

“The journey with Laika was one filled with discovery, improvements and collaboration. While we had many sound operational processes, it was great to go through a detailed review and update them according to the latest standards and our industry,” said Carl Chebli, Director, Operations at CLEARGOALS.
