Axis Communications has successfully completed its SOC 2® (System and Organization Controls) Type 2 attestation for Axis Cloud Connect, a hybrid cloud platform, as well as for AXIS Device Manager Edge, AXIS Device Manager Extend and AXIS Body Worn Live – which are built with Axis Cloud Connect. This reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to data security, availability, privacy and operational excellence.
The SOC 2® Type 2 attestation, conducted by an independent third-party auditing firm, evaluates both the design and effectiveness of a company's controls over a specified period. The audit specifically assessed compliance with the Trust Services Criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), including security, availability, and confidentiality.
“This attestation is a major milestone for Axis,” said R&D Director Enterprise and Partner Solutions Niklas Holmqvist at Axis. “It validates the robust controls and processes we have in place to safeguard our customers' data and underscores our commitment to delivering scalable, and reliable cloud-based solutions grounded in industry best practices around cybersecurity.”
Axis achieved SOC 2® Type 1 attestation in August 2024. While both attestations demonstrate a company’s commitment to safeguarding customer data, the SOC 2® Type 1 report evaluated the design and implementation of security controls at a single point in time. The SOC 2® Type 2 attestation goes further – evaluating the operational effectiveness of those controls over an extended period. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s ability to maintain trust, reliability, and integrity in its systems.
Recognized as the industry gold standard for data protection and operational integrity in cloud services, the SOC 2® Type 2 attestation assures Axis customers and partners that, Axis Cloud Connect, AXIS Device Manager Edge, AXIS Device Manager Extend and AXIS Body Worn Live are designed to meet – and exceed – the high standards for security and risk management.
