DURHAM, NC – Net Friends, Inc., North Carolina’s premier Managed Services Provider (MSP), is proud to announce its seventh consecutive year of successfully completing the SOC 2 Type II audit. This achievement represents a relentless pursuit of operational excellence and data integrity.
Moving Beyond Checklists to Culture
While many providers view security as a one-time hurdle, Net Friends treats it as a continuous evolution. By partnering with independent auditor KirkpatrickPrice for the seventh year, Net Friends proves that its internal controls are not just theoretical but deeply embedded in the company's daily DNA.
The SOC 2 Type II report is the gold standard for MSPs, requiring a rigorous examination of how a company handles client data over an extended period. This seventh straight attestation confirms that Net Friends adheres to the AICPA Trust Services Criteria with unwavering precision.
Why 7 Years of SOC 2 Compliance Matters
- Proven Resilience: Seven years of data proves our security posture is engrained.
- Maturity Over Hype: We have refined our processes through nearly a decade of independent scrutiny.
- Reduced Client Risk: Our adherence to AICPA standards directly translates to a lower risk profile for every business we support.
- Total Transparency: We welcome independent, third-party oversight to ensure we are always operating at peak performance.
