beqom, a provider of cloud-based compensation management software, announced it has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, the gold standard for data security and compliance, based on an independent audit conducted by one of the Big 4 audit firms. beqom is trusted by many large enterprises globally, including many financial institutions, to process their employee compensation.
“We have to maintain the highest standards because we have contractual obligations with our customers to protect their information, and legal requirements to process personal data in accordance with global regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.”
SOC 2 is a framework of security standards based on the five trust principles developed and maintained by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA): Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy. The SOC 2 Type II audit is considered the most rigorous of control standards, since it ascertains whether a company can control and secure its processes over time, as opposed to the Type I audit which looks only at a snapshot view at a single point in time. A Type II certification such as that achieved by beqom is considered a more reliable measure as it reflects a culture of permanent control and tracking of changes.

Our large enterprise customers, especially those in financial services, have very stringent IT requirements, including SOC1 and SOC2 Type II assurance reports that cover one full year.” Says Hery, “We have to maintain the highest standards because we have contractual obligations with our customers to protect their information, and legal requirements to process personal data in accordance with global regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.”
