CORK, IRELAND — February 10, 2022 — Setapp, the first subscription-based productivity toolkit for macOS and iOS by MacPaw, announces it has successfully completed a Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type I audit. The independent audit, conducted by Boulay Group, affirms Setapp’s information security policies and practices meet the security trust service principle.
“The Setapp security team has done a great job over the past year working closely with an auditor to make sure that every process aligns with SOC requirements,” says Oleksandr Kosovan, CEO of Setapp. “SOC 2 Type I report demonstrates Setapp's commitment to building the service with the highest level of trust and transparency when it comes to protecting our customers’ data.”
A popular auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 Type I was created to assess the design of security processes at a specific point in time, and confirm that an organization's security controls are suitably designed and implemented.
In addition to SOC 2 compliance, Setapp has recently added a Security category to its toolkit of 230+ apps. The new category unites 11 high-quality, curated solutions to protect a user’s Mac and privacy, including Pareto Security, Secrets, Step Two, ClearVPN, AdGuard, etc.
“Information security is a growing concern not only for SaaS companies but also their customers. Therefore, client data privacy and trust are non-negotiable for a SaaS business today”, says Mykola Srebnyuk, Head of Information Security at MacPaw. “We intend to continue to build on the secure foundation in 2022, planning to complete a successful ISO 27001:2013 audit for Setapp and MacPaw by the end of the year.”
