TOA Global has achieved a new information security certification that vouches for the way we are protecting client data in accounting firms.
We have achieved a System and Organizational Controls (SOC 2) Type 1 certification, which means we have met the standards for information systems security that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has set.
“We understand that security is paramount when it comes to offshoring in the accounting industry. Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 certification formally recognizes our commitment to implementing enterprise-grade security measures across our technology infrastructure,” TOA Global’s Chief Information Officer Ben Fisher said.
The AICPA rigorously enforces the SOC 2 standards, which it developed to help businesses protect data privacy while reaping the advantages of working with third-party service companies, including accounting outsourcing services providers like TOA Global.
Protecting client data in accounting firms
- Validates our company’s commitment to our clients’ data security and privacy.
- Attests to our compliance with industry standards.
- Supports our drive to be more efficient — a major win from all the effort and time spent documenting and standardizing our internal processes and controls.
“This milestone demonstrates to our clients that we employ certified, leading-edge practices to protect sensitive information and guard against cyber threats. We’re proud to offer this added layer of confidence to our customers and partners as we continue to deliver top-tier global accounting staffing solutions.”
Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 certification confirms that TOA Global’s information security controls meet the five trust principles AICPA has specified: security, availability, data processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Since 2013, TOA Global has grown to employ more than 4,180 elite accountants, auditors, bookkeepers, and other team members in the Philippines. More than 1,190 accounting firms, mainly in Australia and the United States, have found the accounting talent they needed with us, which allowed them to focus on their growth.
We share our clients’ commitment to abiding by the most robust data security best practices for accounting firms.
