The SOC 2 Type II report focuses on an organization’s internal controls related to compliance and operations, and evaluates the effectiveness of these controls over time. Tests of the control environment included an inspection of InfluxData’s organizational structure; inquiries with management, operations, administrative and other personnel; observations of personnel in the performance of their assigned duties; and inspection of documents and records pertaining to controls.

Certification was granted on December 8, 2020, following an audit of SOC 2 reports conducted by leading compliance assessor Coalfire. The audit found that InfluxData meets the SOC 2 standards for security, availability and confidentiality. Moving forward, the company will perform a SOC 2 Type II audit and accreditation on an annual basis.
