Yubi becomes India’s first Fintech company to achieve SOC 2 Type II certification for data security and privacy
A Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II Attestation is given after a successful audit of how a service provider handles sensitive information.
The audit ensures that Yubi meets the five Trust Service Principles (TSP): security, privacy, availability, confidentiality and processing integrity.
Yubi is also ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management Systems), and ISO 27001 (Information Security Management Systems) certified.
Yubi, the world’s first unified credit platform for businesses and lenders, has become the first Indian fintech company to achieve the SOC 2 Type II certification. Obtaining this certification means that Yubi has been audited by one of the Big Four firms against the strict TSPs and the implementation of controls in accordance with the international security and accessibility standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
SOC 2 Type II certification by the AICPA was awarded to Yubi after a successful audit between July and December 2022
As a product-first and customer-first leader in the credit ecosystem, data has always been at the core of Yubi. Therefore, it is imperative that the highest levels of data protection measures are put in place to serve customers in their best interests and meet new regulatory guidelines. This achievement is a testament to Yubi’s commitment to security and privacy.
Commenting on the development, Araveinth Gopinath, Chief Information Security Officer, Yubi, said, “On our journey to deepen debt markets and provide access to capital to businesses in India, at Yubi, we have made significant investments to enhance and build a highly secure infrastructure. We are proud and excited to have achieved the SOC 2 Type II certificate in record time.
