We have BIG news!
Galactic Advisors has reached a significant milestone: We have successfully achieved the SOC 2 Type 2 certification, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to the highest standards of security and privacy.
Obviously, we’re proud of this accomplishment, but I have an ulterior motive for sharing it with you here. I wanted to show you that rigorous compliance does not have to be a drawn-out process.
After careful deliberation, our team decided SOC 2 Type 2 was the best standard for Galacticos to follow as a means to exhibit our dedication to making sure our own security meets industry standards. We evaluated every aspect of our operations, systems, and processes to ensure they meet the stringent requirements set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This rigorous audit, conducted by an independent third party, evaluated our information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations to ensure the safeguarding of our client's data.
Our journey to certification was guided by a carefully crafted strategy, focused on developing robust processes and innovative ways to collect and present evidence. This approach not only facilitated a smoother audit process but also significantly reduced the time to achieve certification to just 90 days - a timeline previously thought to be overly ambitious, and possibly unattainable.
We know you face challenges and complexities navigating the compliance landscape, so we’re committed to sharing our knowledge and resources. Galactic Advisors is proud to announce the release of our proprietary processes and evidence collection methodologies in the form of Compliance Coordinator. These resources are designed to empower our partners, enabling them to meet the requirements of a 90-day SOC 2 audit with confidence and ease.
Our methodology and resources will provide you with a similar outcome to our own process through a SOC 2 audit. We have outlined the steps, strategies, and best practices to make the certification process easy and seamless. This includes everything from preparation to evidence collection and final submission to the final evaluation of any exceptions.
SOC 2 is achievable and does not have to be a long, hard arduous process.
This achievement underscores our commitment to helping protect a million people and enabling our MSP community to be better. Galactic Advisors is dedicated to not only upholding the highest standards of security and privacy but also to fostering a culture of transparency and collaboration. We believe that by working together, we can elevate the entire industry, making compliance more accessible and achievable for companies of all sizes.
As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to supporting our partners in their compliance journeys, offering not just tools and resources but also the reassurance that comes from partnering with a company that has successfully navigated the path to SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
