Pearl Meyer Celebrates SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance
Firm prioritizes protecting client data and information
BOSTON / -- Pearl Meyer, a prominent executive compensation and leadership consultancy, has achieved a significant milestone by completing its System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) Type 2 examination. This accomplishment highlights the firm’s steadfast commitment to upholding the highest security standards necessary to protect client data.
The SOC 2 framework, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), assesses an organization’s comprehensive rules regarding the storage, processing, and transfer of client information. Unlike a SOC 2 Type 1 report which evaluates the design of these controls at a specific moment, the SOC 2 Type 2 report examines the efficacy of these controls over a longer duration through independent audit.
"This achievement underscores our commitment to rigorous and sustainable data protection practices, ensuring that we meet the increasingly complex needs of our clients," stated Beth Florin, CEO of Pearl Meyer. Securing the SOC 2 Type 2 certification is a notable accomplishment, with only a few professional service firms achieving this distinction. It exemplifies the high standards that Pearl Meyer strives to maintain for its clientele when safeguarding sensitive information.
In addition to this certification, Pearl Meyer has introduced the Pearl Meyer Trust Center, which offers clients transparent access to comprehensive details regarding the firm's security practices, controls, and compliance. This initiative aligns with the organization’s goal of enhancing trust and transparency with its clients.
Chad Flynn, CIO of Pearl Meyer, emphasized the importance of protecting client data, saying, "Completing our SOC 2 Type 2 examination, along with the launch of our Trust Center, illustrates our commitment to secure, private, and defendable data management against emerging threats in today’s digital landscape."
