At Unique, we're thrilled to announce our recent achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. As a leading provider of GenAI solutions for financial services (FS), this milestone underscores our dedicated commitment to security, reliability, and trust.

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a comprehensive framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) for managing and protecting customer data based on five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It is particularly relevant for technology and cloud computing companies that handle customer data like Unique. 


Unique’s journey to SOC 2 compliance


The journey to SOC 2 Type 2 compliance has been transformative for Unique. While we achieved SOC 2 Type 1 certification in December 2023, this new Type 2 certification represents a more comprehensive, year-long evaluation of our systems and processes. It's not just about meeting a set of standards; it's about embedding a security-first mindset into every aspect of our operations. This certification process has led to more streamlined workflows across our organization, with security considerations seamlessly integrated into our processes. From data handling to system monitoring, our internal controls adhere to diligent security and privacy standards, to ensure the protection of our clients' sensitive information.


Why Unique engage in SOC 2 certification?


This certification is particularly significant for our clients in the financial services sector, where data security and privacy are paramount. It serves as an independent validation of our robust internal controls and processes, providing our clients with the assurance they need to confidently implement Unique AI . This is a huge achievement and will help us attract more clients, especially in the USA and UK, where this certification is highly valued.

We are proud of this certification, but it is only the starting point. Certifications are a continuous learning journey, and as we grow globally, we need to ensure our control frameworks grow with us. The SOC 2 Type 2 certification serves as a springboard for further enhancements to our security posture. We're exploring how this foundation can be leveraged to bolster our Zero Trust architecture and further strengthening our defense-in-depth approach to cybersecurity.


More than a certification


The achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is more than just a certification – it's a testament to our team's dedication and our company's values. It represents countless hours of hard work, meticulous documentation, and a company-wide commitment to excellence in security and privacy.
