MINNEAPOLIS, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MetaField, the leading field and lab workflow platform for construction materials testing, geotechnical engineering, and inspection firms, has successfully completed ISO 27001, SOC 2 ® Type 1, and SOC 2 ® Type 2 certification audits. This achievement validates the strength and maturity of MetaField's information security, availability, and confidentiality controls, and marks a significant milestone in MetaField's mission to provide its customers with trusted, secure, and high-performing solutions.
Achieving these certifications require months-long, rigorous evaluations by independent third-party auditors. The process involved an extensive audit of MetaField's internal systems, policies, procedures, and risk management practices—ensuring compliance with globally recognized standards for protecting client data and ensuring operational resilience.
A Rigorous, Multi-Phase Verification Journey
Securing these certifications involved an extensive, organization-wide initiative that included:
ISO 27001: Demonstrating the design and implementation of a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned with global standards.
SOC 2 Type 1: Verifying that essential security and compliance controls were properly designed at a point in time.
SOC 2 Type 2: Proving the effectiveness of those controls over time—ensuring sustained operational integrity and maturity across systems and processes.
NQA-1 Audit: Alongside the ISO and SOC 2 audits, Agile Frameworks participated in a client-led NQA-1 audit as part of their software vendor approval process. Following a rigorous four-week, seven-step evaluation, MetaField was found to be in compliance with applicable NQA-1 2008/2009a requirements and was added to the client's Approved Supplier List for the MetaField software—further reinforcing our commitment to quality, security, and traceability.
'As firms continue to increase their reliance on 3 rd party software solutions, they are expecting them to meet these rigorous standards. MetaField does that. This was an intensive, organization-wide effort that validates the trust our customers place in us,' said David Gagne, CEO of Agile Frameworks. 'From field data collection to lab workflows and reporting, our customers handle sensitive operational data every day. These certifications confirm that MetaField meets the highest standards for securing that data, maintaining system availability, and ensuring integrity across the platform.'
Security as a Key Software Evaluation Factor
With rising cybersecurity threats and increasing scrutiny on data governance, software buyers in the engineering services industry must evaluate not only functionality—but security, compliance, and vendor accountability.
'We know that our customers' data—especially their field and lab test results—is foundational to the quality of work they deliver to their clients,' said Alicia Schimke, CTO of Agile Frameworks. 'These certifications mean our clients don't have to compromise—MetaField provides secure, audit-ready engineering software that supports compliance, uptime, and client confidence.'
