Service and security standards verified as trustworthy by independent CPA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Chicago, Illinois | April 12, 2022
George Jon, the market leader in consulting, management, infrastructure and support for global eDiscovery networks, is proud to announce that it has achieved SOC2 (System and Organization Controls 2) Type II Certification. A formal review by an independent auditor has determined that GJ’s internal services and security standards are of the highest order, benefiting a global client base that requires security and service excellence. SOC 2 Certification requires a rigorous audit to confirm the trustworthiness of operations/systems employed by a service organization. George Jon received a Type II Certification, which focuses on the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) trust service principles relating to a provider’s internal controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and data privacy.
Internal systems are monitored and studied throughout the audit period, including:
- Infrastructure: The physical and hardware components (networks, facilities, equipment) that support the IT environment for client services.
- Software: The operating software and programs (utilities, applications, systems) used to facilitate data and system processing.
- People: The personnel (managers, developers, users, operators) involved in the management, security, governance, and operations of customer services.
- Data: The information (files, databases, transaction stream, tables) used/processed within the service organization.
- Procedures: The manuals or automated procedures that bind processes and keep services functioning.
George Jon’s certification process was carried out by AARC-360, a prominent CPA located in Atlanta, Georgia. AARC-360 works with Big Four consulting firms and has 25 years of experience in the advisory realm. Experts in the strategic aspects of IT Compliance and Cybersecurity, AARC-360 was a perfect match for George Jon’s review due to their market knowledge and technology experience.
The certification assures George Jon customers that internal security programs are properly designed and operate effectively to safeguard data. This includes responsible process monitoring, encryption control, intrusion detection, user access authentication, and disaster recovery.
