Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC2 framework is used to examine an organization’s controls that are in place to protect and secure its systems and services.

This certification proves that VIQ met rigorous standards in ensuring Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, and Confidentiality as defined in the SOC2 framework’s Trust Services Criteria (TSC). Our SOC 2 Type 1 is a milestone pillar in our security program at VIQ, underlying the advanced and market leading maturity of the security controls of our information security systems. The Company is committed to building a portfolio of the most advanced security certifications.

The rigorous certification process further validates our established robust controls, underscoring our unwavering focus on safety and dependability. Our successful attainment of SOC2 Type 1 criteria and controls has set the groundwork for SOC2 Type 2 certification, which we intend to pursue in 2024. Our customers can feel confident that we are making every investment to establish and maintain the highest level of security and compliance.
