Enterprise-Grade Security, Independently Verified

At FlatWorld, protecting your data isn’t just a policy—it’s a foundational commitment verified by independent auditors year after year. We maintain an active SOC 2 Type II report, providing you with documented assurance that our security, availability, and confidentiality controls meet the highest industry standards.

What SOC 2 Type II Means for You

SOC 2 Type II is widely recognized as the gold standard for evaluating how technology companies protect customer data. Unlike a Type I report, which only assesses whether controls are properly designed at a single point in time, a Type II audit examines how effectively those controls actually operate over an extended period—typically six to twelve months.

This distinction matters. It means our security practices aren’t just theoretical; they’re proven to work consistently, day after day, across real-world conditions. When you partner with a SOC 2 Type II compliant organization, you gain confidence that data protection is woven into our daily operations, not treated as an afterthought.

The Benefits of Our Compliance

Independent Verification You Can Trust Our controls are evaluated by accredited third-party auditors who have no stake in the outcome. This independent assessment eliminates guesswork and provides objective evidence that our systems, processes, and policies meet rigorous standards. You don’t have to take our word for it—the audit speaks for itself.

Continuous Protection, Not a One-Time Checkbox Maintaining an active SOC 2 Type II report requires ongoing vigilance. We continuously monitor, test, and improve our controls to ensure they remain effective as threats evolve and our platform grows. This commitment to continuous improvement means your data is protected by systems that adapt to the changing security landscape.

Reduced Risk for Your Institution When you choose a SOC 2 Type II compliant partner, you reduce your own organizational risk. Our verified controls help protect against data breaches, unauthorized access, and service disruptions—risks that can carry significant financial, legal, and reputational consequences. Our compliance becomes an extension of your own risk management strategy.

Simplified Vendor Evaluation For institutions with strict procurement requirements, our SOC 2 Type II report streamlines your due diligence process. Rather than conducting extensive independent assessments of our security practices, you can rely on our audited report as documented evidence that we meet or exceed industry expectations for data protection and operational reliability.

Alignment with Institutional Standards Colleges and universities face increasing pressure to protect student information and ensure their technology partners meet stringent security requirements. Our SOC 2 Type II compliance demonstrates that we understand these obligations and have built our operations to support your institution’s compliance needs.

Transparency and Accountability We believe trust is built through transparency. Our willingness to undergo rigorous annual audits reflects our commitment to accountability at every level of our organization. We’re not hiding behind vague assurances—we’re opening our practices to independent scrutiny because we’re confident in what auditors will find.

Our Commitment to You

Security is never finished. As the threat landscape evolves and best practices advance, we evolve with them. Our SOC 2 Type II compliance is one part of a broader commitment to operational excellence, responsible data stewardship, and earning your trust every single day.

When you work with FlatWorld, you can focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional educational experiences to your students—with confidence that your data is protected by controls that are continuously verified, rigorously maintained, and independently validated.
