Keepit Secures SOC 2 Type 1 Attestation, Cementing Its SaaS Data Protection Credentials

In a move signaling its dedication to enterprise-grade security, Keepit, a vendor-independent cloud platform specializing in SaaS data protection, announced today that it has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 1 attestation. The milestone reinforces the company’s commitment to safeguarding customer data through rigorous security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy controls.

SOC 2 Type 1, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates the design of internal controls at a specific point in time, offering organizations and their clients confidence that key trust principles are upheld. For Keepit, this attestation validates the architecture of its security systems and processes, addressing growing enterprise concerns over SaaS data safety.

“Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 attestation is a significant step forward in demonstrating our commitment to transparency, trust, and continuous improvement in how we protect customer data,” said Kim Larsen, Chief Information Security Officer at Keepit. “It’s a milestone that many of our customers — and prospects — have asked for, and we’re proud to deliver.”

The certification process involved a coordinated effort across Keepit’s departments, including Legal, People and Culture, Quality Assurance, Delivery, Operations, Internal IT, and SOC teams. Together, they implemented and validated 108 distinct controls, spanning both system security and operational integrity.

“Our success was a true cross-team effort,” Larsen added. “It’s a reflection of our commitment to protecting what matters most to our customers: their data.”

This SOC 2 Type 1 achievement complements Keepit’s existing ISO 27001 certification and positions the company as a trusted choice for organizations seeking verified data protection and regulatory compliance. With SOC 2 Type 2 attestation already in progress, Keepit is signaling its intent to provide continuous verification of its security and privacy practices over time.

Customers and auditors can request access to the SOC 2 Type 1 report via Keepit’s Customer Success and Support teams, ensuring transparency and accountability at every level.

As enterprise reliance on SaaS applications grows, the pressure on providers to deliver robust, independently verified data protection is intensifying. Keepit’s latest milestone reflects a wider industry trend where security credentials are not just compliance checkboxes but critical factors in vendor selection.
