Auvik Secures SOC 2 Type II for Full IT Management Suite, Enabling Safer Networks and SaaS Environments
Article content Expanded certification and CSA STAR self-assessment highlight Auvik's continued investment in protecting customer data and supporting regulatory compliance Article content Article content WATERLOO, Ontario — Auvik, an award-winning IT solutions provider, today announced it has expanded its SOC 2 Type II certification, now including Auvik Network Management (ANM), Auvik SaaS Management (ASM), and Auvik Endpoint Management (AEM). Earlier this year Auvik also completed its Level 1: CSA STAR Self-Assessment. These milestones reaffirm Auvik's commitment to information security and transparency for its customers, partners and MSPs. Article content 'A critical part of a vigilant security posture is having visibility into networks and SaaS environments that Auvik manages, and these expanded certifications demonstrate our unwavering resolve to maintain the highest security standards across our entire product suite,' said Doug Murray, CEO at Auvik. 'Security isn't a one-time achievement – it's an ongoing commitment. As cyber threats continue to evolve, our customers can be confident that security remains a top priority for Auvik.' Article content The Value of Expanded Certification and Compliance SOC 2 Type II certification is widely recognized as the gold standard for data security, requiring companies to demonstrate effective operational controls over extended periods. The certification process involves an intensive third-party audit that examines how organizations handle customer data against strict criteria for security, availability, and confidentiality. Article content The CSA Level 1 is a voluntary Security, Trust and Assurance Registry (STAR) self-assessment to document compliance with CSA-published best practices in a transparent manner, helping customers gain visibility into Auvik's security practices using a globally recognized baseline.

Article content In addition to the controlled SOC 2 documentation, Auvik has also released a SOC 3 report that balances transparency with security considerations. This complementary report provides meaningful insights into Auvik's security practices without disclosing sensitive implementation details.
