Expanded scope strengthens independent validation of privacy controls, boosting customer confidence

Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, announced the expansion of its SOC 2 audit scope. Now including the Privacy Trust Services Criteria, the expansion of the program reinforces the company’s commitment to strong governance over the collection, use, retention, disclosure, and protection of personal data.

The expanded SOC 2 scope builds on the established assurance program, providing customers and partners with additional independent validation of privacy controls. By aligning its control environment with the Privacy Trust Services Criteria, Precisely strengthens its ability to demonstrate responsible data stewardship and supports organizations in meeting their own privacy and compliance obligations.

“Extending our SOC 2 scope to include the Privacy Trust Services Criteria reflects the way privacy is embedded directly into our control environment, rather than being treated as a separate consideration,” said Susan Fletcher, Chief Privacy Officer and Deputy General Counsel at Precisely. “This extension improves confidence in how personal data is processed throughout its lifecycle and reinforces responsible data stewardship.”

The SOC 2 audit was conducted by A-LIGN, a leading provider of cybersecurity and compliance services. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 framework provides rigorous criteria for evaluating an organization’s controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The Privacy Trust Services Criteria specifically focuses on the governance and protection of personal information from initial collection through final disposal.
