Sidetrade Bolsters AI Governance with Triple Security Certifications

Event summary

  • Sidetrade achieved SOC 1® Type II and SOC 2® Type II reports with an unmodified auditor’s opinion from EY France.
  • The company completed a full ISO/IEC 27001:2022 recertification, building on its certification since 2019.
  • These certifications were obtained while Sidetrade integrated acquisitions, expanded globally, and introduced agentic AI capabilities.

The certifications serve as a key differentiator for AI vendors supporting mission-critical financial workflows, as enterprises tighten vendor oversight and accelerate AI adoption. This move positions Sidetrade to capitalize on the increasing scrutiny of AI systems and the need for robust data protection practices.
