The Gold Standard

We’re excited to announce that Group M7 has successfully completed our System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 audit. This is a significant milestone in our security journey. 

SOC 2 certification represents the gold standard in information security compliance, established by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to verify service organizations' security controls through rigorous third-party evaluation.

How Did We Become SOC 2 Compliant?

Through our collaboration with Johanson Group, we underwent an extensive audit of our security infrastructure and practices. The assessment covered crucial aspects of our operations, including: 

  •  Data security protocols

  •  Multi-factor authorization (MFA)

  • Firewall configurations 

  • Change management processes

  • Access controls 

  • Backup systems 

  • Business continuity planning

  • Incident response procedures

Why Is This Important for You? 

Our SOC 2 certification benefits you in several ways. When you partner with Group M7, you're not just getting a website– you're getting the peace of mind that comes with knowing your sensitive data is protected by security measures that meet the highest industry standards. Think of SOC 2 certification as a seal of approval from one of the most respected auditing organizations in the world.

This certification means that every aspect of how we handle your data – from how we store it to how we protect it from threats – has been thoroughly examined and validated by independent experts. We've proven that we have robust systems to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data integrity, and ensure your information remains confidential. In practical terms, this means reduced risk for your business and stronger protection for your valuable data assets.

Moreover, our continuous compliance monitoring goes beyond the standard audit requirements. Rather than just meeting security standards during periodic checks, we maintain these high standards every day of the year. This ongoing vigilance means you can trust that your data is consistently protected at all times, not just during audit periods.

Your Trust, Our Priority: Going Beyond Basic Security

The successful completion of this audit reflects the dedication of our entire team and the invaluable support of Johanson Group. Our SOC 2 Report demonstrates that our security measures not only meet but exceed industry standards. We've implemented continuous compliance monitoring through our integrated infrastructure, maintaining SOC 2 standards 24/7/365 rather than solely during audit periods.

This certification represents just one component of our comprehensive security program. Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance our security measures and maintain annual SOC 2 audits to ensure we consistently meet the evolving needs of our valued customers.
