Environics Analytics Achieves Type II SOC1, SOC2 & HIPAA Certification

Toronto, January 11, 2021 – As a leading data, analytics, and marketing services company, Environics Analytics is excited to announce that it has received favourable reports for three audits.

The Type II SOC 1 & CSAE 3416 report provides an assurance that internal and connected external reporting controls are appropriately designed, in place, and validated through rigorous testing.

The Type II SOC 2 report is an American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) technical audit to ensure that trust service categories such as security, availability, processing, integrity, and confidentiality of customer data meet specific metrics and standards.

The HIPAA certification is aligned with essential elements of HIPAA and HITECH. Internal controls must meet the standard and implementation guidelines defined by the HIPAA Security Rules, such as Administrative Safeguards, Physical Safeguards, Technical Safeguards, Organizations Requirements, and Breach Notification.

Environics Analytics’ mission is to make people's lives better and their clients more successful through transformative data, insights, and analytics and delivering advanced data modelling and custom analytic solutions that are privacy compliant.

“We’re proud of our continued commitment to information security. We view third-party audits as an investment to bolster our clients’ faith in our capabilities and systems. But they do more than help put our clients at ease; audits help us manage the rising threats and associated risks of handling and securing data. These types of stringent independent audits provide us assurances about the controls and safeguards we have in place, as well as underpins our strategy to continue to offer the best possible value to our clients” said Jan Kestle, President Environics Analytics.

Environics Analytics audit reports are available to clients upon request.
