Unifyr Achieves 9 Years of Clean SOC 2 Type II Reports

A Nine-Year Commitment to Security and Trust

In any business relationship, especially one built on shared data and collaborative goals, trust is the foundational element. It's the assurance that commitments will be met, that information will be handled responsibly, and that your interests are protected. This principle is at the very heart of what we do.

With that in mind, we are proud to share a significant milestone in our company's history. Unifyr (formerly Zift Solutions) has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit for the ninth consecutive year with no exceptions noted in the report. This achievement reflects a long-term, consistent effort to maintain the highest standards of data security and operational integrity for our customers and partners.

Understanding the Importance of SOC 2 Type II

For those unfamiliar with the specifics, SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a comprehensive auditing framework designed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Its purpose is to ensure that service providers manage customer data securely and responsibly. The "Type II" designation is particularly important, as it moves beyond a simple point-in-time assessment. Instead, it involves a detailed examination of an organization's security controls over an extended period, usually between six and twelve months, to verify their ongoing operational effectiveness.

This distinction is critical in a digital landscape where the consequences of a data breach, which currently average around $9.44M per incident, continue to be a major concern for businesses. Maintaining SOC 2 Type II compliance provides a verifiable assurance that a vendor is not only talking about security but is actively and effectively implementing it.

The Significance of a Nine-Year Record Without Exceptions

Achieving this standard for a single year requires significant effort and diligence. To do so for nine consecutive years without any exceptions speaks to a deeply embedded culture of security. This level of sustained compliance is uncommon, with industry estimates suggesting that fewer than 1% of SaaS vendors maintain such a long-standing, unblemished record.

Each annual audit involves extensive testing by independent CPA firms that scrutinize our controls. The finding of "no exceptions" year after year confirms that these controls have consistently operated as designed, without any identified issues or deficiencies. Our journey with SOC 2 compliance began when the standard itself was still emerging, allowing us to build and refine our security program on this rigorous framework from the ground up.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Security

Our SOC 2 Type II compliance covers the critical domains necessary to protect data across the entire channel ecosystem. This is not a single initiative but a holistic program encompassing:

• Access Control and Authentication: We utilize role-based access controls (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and least-privilege principles to ensure that users only have access to the information necessary for their roles. These permissions are subject to regular reviews.

• System Monitoring and Security: Our infrastructure is supported by continuous, 24/7 security monitoring, advanced threat detection systems, and a robust vulnerability management program that includes regular penetration testing.

• Data Protection: Our approach to data protection involves strong encryption for data both at rest and in transit, secure data handling procedures throughout its lifecycle, and reliable data backup and disaster recovery protocols.

• Risk Management: We employ a continuous risk assessment process that includes thorough vendor risk management, comprehensive business continuity planning, and a well-practiced incident response plan to ensure operational resilience.

A Secure Foundation for Channel Growth

At Unifyr, we have always considered security to be a core principle of our platform design. The company’s recent rebrand reflects our expanded vision of bringing the channel together profitably, and this vision is supported by the same secure foundation that has earned our customers' trust for nearly a decade.

Our comprehensive platform provides a secure environment where suppliers, partners, and agencies can collaborate with confidence.

• ZiftONE delivers industry-leading Partner Relationship Management (PRM), Through-Channel Marketing Automation (TCMA), and Learning Management System (LMS) capabilities within a single, integrated solution, empowering organizations to manage the partner lifecycle with robust, embedded security controls.

• UnifyrPro completes the ecosystem by connecting suppliers with agencies and vendors in a secure marketplace, allowing organizations to expand their channel programs with the assurance that their strategic information remains protected.

As we acknowledge this milestone, we also recognize that the security landscape is constantly evolving. Our work in this area is never finished. We remain committed to adapting and strengthening our controls, expanding our compliance framework to include emerging standards, and continuing to invest in the people, processes, and technologies necessary to protect our clients' data.
