FileCloud Raises Security Bar with SOC 2 Type 2 Enterprise Validation

NEW YORK, NY – January 13, 2026 – FileCloud, a provider of hyper-secure content collaboration solutions, has significantly bolstered its security credentials by successfully completing System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 audits for both its flagship FileCloud platform and its e-signature subsidiary, Signority. The achievement provides long-term validation of the company's security infrastructure and operational effectiveness, reinforcing its commitment to serving highly regulated industries worldwide.

The independent audits, conducted by cybersecurity assessor Prescient Assurance LLC, affirm that the company's security controls are not only properly designed but have operated effectively over an extended period. The report for the FileCloud platform covers the period from June 1, 2025, to October 31, 2025, while the Signority audit spanned from August 9, 2024, to October 31, 2025. This milestone provides critical assurance to a global client base that includes government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and organizations in the defense, finance, and healthcare sectors.

The New Gold Standard for Cloud Security

In an era of escalating cyber threats, SOC 2 Type 2 compliance has emerged as a critical benchmark for cloud service providers. Unlike a Type 1 report, which assesses security controls at a single point in time, the Type 2 attestation provides a much more rigorous evaluation. It offers proof that a company has consistently maintained its security practices over several months, demonstrating true operational maturity and a sustained commitment to data protection.

The framework for the audit is built upon the AICPA's five Trust Service Criteria: Security, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Availability, and Privacy. Adherence to these principles ensures that a service provider maintains robust controls to safeguard customer data, prevent unauthorized access, ensure system reliability, and uphold strict privacy standards. For enterprise customers, this independent verification is no longer a luxury but a fundamental requirement for partnership.

Achieving this level of compliance involves a comprehensive review of an organization's policies, procedures, and operations. Auditors test everything from logical and physical access controls and change management processes to risk mitigation strategies and security incident response plans. For FileCloud, this validation goes beyond a simple compliance checkbox; it serves as tangible proof of its foundational security architecture.

A Multi-Layered Defense in a Competitive Arena

The completion of the SOC 2 Type 2 audits adds a crucial layer to FileCloud’s already formidable security posture. The new reports complement the company's existing certifications, which include ISO 27001:2022 for its information security management system, ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, and a third-party attestation for HIPAA compliance. This multi-faceted approach creates a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy that few competitors can match.

While SOC 2 is increasingly common in North America, the addition of the globally recognized ISO 27001 certification provides a broader assurance for international clients, particularly in Europe and Asia. This combination demonstrates a holistic commitment to security that addresses diverse regulatory landscapes. For customers in the healthcare industry, the HIPAA attestation, bolstered by the privacy and security controls validated in the SOC 2 report, offers powerful assurance that sensitive patient information is protected according to U.S. law.

This certification also extends to Signority, the Canadian e-signature platform FileCloud acquired to enhance its document workflow capabilities. By ensuring both platforms meet this high standard, the company presents a unified, secure ecosystem for content collaboration and transaction management. This is particularly significant for Signority, which already emphasizes its Canadian data residency and compliance with local privacy laws, making it a compelling choice for public and private sector organizations north of the border.

From Audit Burden to Business Enabler

For enterprise customers, the benefits of a vendor's SOC 2 Type 2 compliance are immediate and tangible. In today's business environment, vendor risk management has become a complex and resource-intensive process. Procurement and compliance teams often spend months vetting potential partners, exchanging lengthy security questionnaires and demanding evidence of security controls. FileCloud's new report dramatically simplifies this process.

The attestation serves as pre-verified, independent proof of a strong security posture, allowing enterprise clients to accelerate their procurement cycles and reduce the administrative overhead associated with due diligence. This documented evidence of sustained security practices satisfies a key requirement for many vendor assessment programs, giving customers greater confidence when handling sensitive or regulated data on the platform.

Furthermore, the report helps reduce the audit burden on customers themselves. When a company undergoes its own security or compliance audits, it must demonstrate that its third-party service providers also meet required standards. By leveraging FileCloud's SOC 2 Type 2 report, customers can easily provide their auditors with comprehensive documentation of tested security controls, saving significant time and effort.

"SOC 2 Type 2 reports represent a significant milestone in demonstrating our sustained commitment to security, reliability and trust," said Ray Downes, CEO at FileCloud. "This is not just a compliance achievement—it's a reflection of our long-held culture of security and operational excellence where every single day we work to protect all of our customers' data."

This shift transforms security from a perceived cost center into a genuine business enabler, fostering trust and allowing organizations to focus on their core operations with the assurance that their data is protected by a verified, world-class security framework. Information regarding the company's full suite of certifications is available through its online Trust Center, reflecting a commitment to transparency that further builds customer confidence.
