We care deeply about Fugo being a platform that you can trust, and today, we’re sharing a milestone in that journey: we’ve achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance.

This is an important step in proving that your data is safe with us.

So, what does this mean for you? Let’s break it down.

What is SOC 2 Type II compliance?

In plain terms, SOC 2 is like a security report card for businesses that handle customer data. Created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), it’s a framework that evaluates how well a company secures its systems & protects data.

SOC 2 Type II is the highest level of certification, requiring not just strong policies but also proof that those policies are consistently followed over time.

Think of it as the difference between having a safety plan on paper (Type I) and demonstrating that you live by it day in & day out (Type II).

Our commitment to security

SOC 2 Type II compliance is just one way we show our dedication to protecting your data.

Here are a few more measures we take to ensure your data is always secure:

  • Our servers are hosted in facilities that meet Tier IV or III+, SSAE-16, PCI DSS, & ISO 27001 standards.
  • Data is encrypted both at rest & during transmission to ensure maximum security.
  • Users benefit from customized roles & isolated permissions for tighter access control.
  • We perform regular penetration testing & vulnerability assessments with trusted third-party providers.
  • Secure login options include Single Sign-On (SSO) and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
  • All changes are carefully managed & recorded through documented procedures.

How we did it

Over several months, we worked with independent auditors to scrutinize every corner of our platform, from how we manage customer information to how we handle day-to-day operations.

The process wasn’t easy (and that’s the point). It’s meant to be rigorous, thorough, and a true test of a company’s commitment to security.

"“Going through the SOC 2 Type II audit was a big step for us, but absolutely worth it.”

“We work with a number of large infrastructure clients, so keeping their data—and their customers’ data—safe is absolutely critical. This milestone reflects our commitment to maintaining the trust they place in us and the reliability they need from our platform.”

- Nick Ratcliffe, Chief Commercial Officer at Fugo

Why does this matter for you?

SOC 2 compliance is a big deal for any company offering cloud-based services. For digital signage, where so many networks are managed remotely, it’s even more important. The security of your data should never be an afterthought.

Fugo didn’t have to go through the SOC 2 Type II audit. We chose to because protecting your data matters to us. This certification also helps us meet the strict requirements of IT administrators who evaluate third-party systems for their organizations.

For many enterprises, SOC 2 compliance is a critical requirement when evaluating potential vendors. By achieving this certification, we’re making it easier for you to adopt Fugo with confidence, knowing it meets rigorous security and compliance standards.

Here’s how this benefits you:

  • Security: Your data is protected from unauthorized access.
  • Availability: Our platform is reliable whenever you need it.
  • Confidentiality: Your sensitive information stays private.
  • Processing integrity: Services are delivered as promised.

Whether you’re running a small business or managing a large enterprise, SOC 2 Type II compliance gives you the peace of mind that Fugo is built to handle your needs securely.

It ensures your IT team can confidently sign off on our platform, and you can focus on running your business while we handle the security in the background.

What this means for the future

SOC 2 Type II compliance is a big step, but it’s far from the finish line. The digital world is evolving rapidly, with emerging technologies like AI reshaping how businesses operate. As these advancements bring new opportunities, they also introduce new security challenges.

We’re committed to staying ahead of these changes. Whether it’s integrating AI responsibly or refining our processes to meet the highest security standards, our focus is on building a platform that’s both innovative and secure. This milestone is just one part of our ongoing effort to ensure you can trust Fugo with your data—today and in the future.
