Gradifi Achieves SOC2 Type II Attestation
Gradifi today announced that it successfully completed an audit established by American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) to certify its SOC2 Type II compliance for its student loan and college savings benefit platform for U.S.
employers.
Gradifi’s SOC2 Type II audit verifies that an independent accounting firm reviewed and tested the company’s internal controls
and confirmed that they meet the AICPA’s rigorous requirements for security, availability, processing integrity and
confidentiality.
Gradifi’s cloud-based platform, which provides student loan repayment, student loan refinance and college savings options as an
employee benefit, met the AICPA standard with zero exceptions, the highest security standard set by the organization.
In 2017, Gradifi received
ISO 27001 certification, one of the most widely-recognized information security management system standards.
“SOC2 Type II attestation is part of Gradifi’s ongoing commitment to operate by the highest standards of security and
confidentiality,” said Joe Finsterwald, Chief Technology Officer of Gradifi. “Employers can offer Gradifi’s employee benefit
platform with the confidence that private information will remain safe and secure.”
