What SOC 2 Certification Represents for Koncile’s Growth

The achievement of SOC 2 certification marks a pivotal moment in Koncile’s growth. It formalizes the deep structural work carried out over the past months and confirms that our platform meets the highest market standards for security, confidentiality, and data governance.

This accreditation, delivered by an independent auditing body, demonstrates that Koncile applies rigorous, documented, and verified controls—allowing our customers to operate with complete confidence.

Our Approach to SOC 2 Compliance

Why talk about SOC 2 today?

The digital landscape is evolving rapidly. Security is no longer a simple selection criterion—it has become a strategic pillar for every organization. Companies of all sizes now face increasing challenges: protection of sensitive data, digital sovereignty, regulatory compliance, risk management, and operational resilience.

In this environment, SOC 2 has become an international benchmark.

For SaaS platforms like Koncile, it is a clear marker of maturity and reliability. Announcing our certification means affirming to our partners that our architecture and processes already align with the highest industry expectations.

What exactly is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is a framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
It evaluates how companies store, manage, and protect the data entrusted to them.

More than an audit, it is a robust and structured framework built around five Trust Service Criteria:

For a company like ours, supporting hundreds of organizations across various industries, this certification is an essential guarantee.

A Certification That Reflects Our DNA

A demanding commitment that mobilized the entire company

Achieving SOC 2 is not just a technological challenge—it is a cross-functional effort involving our product, engineering, security, legal, support, and operations teams.

It requires the implementation of precise, measurable processes aligned with strict standards, and the ability to demonstrate that these controls are applied consistently.

This undertaking strengthened several key areas at Koncile, including:

  • access control,
  • data flow monitoring,
  • incident management,
  • internal process formalization,
  • documentation of critical procedures.

More than a certification, SOC 2 is a driver of continuous improvement.

Exceptionally strict criteria, with no room for approximation

The SOC 2 audit tolerates neither uncertainty nor ambiguity.
Every policy, procedure, and security measure must be verified, tested, and justified.

The controls cover hundreds of checkpoints, including:

  • infrastructure robustness,
  • action traceability,
  • system monitoring,
  • vulnerability management,
  • backups and disaster recovery plans,
  • process consistency.

The certification confirms that Koncile meets all these requirements with a high degree of maturity.

An independent audit that validates our rigor

SOC 2 certification can only be granted by accredited independent firms.
This external review ensures full impartiality.

For our customers, this means one thing: it is not Koncile claiming to be secure—independent experts confirm it.

A long-term commitment, not a one-time effort

Unlike many labels, SOC 2 is not a one-off validation.
Maintaining certification requires continuous excellence, ongoing process refinement, and regular evidence of compliance.

This long-term approach aligns perfectly with Koncile’s vision: making security a foundation, not a marketing argument.

Why Koncile Chose to Pursue SOC 2 Certification
