We are excited to announce that Givecloud has successfully completed its first System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II audit. A SOC 2 Type II report describes a service organization's systems, whether the design of specified controls meets the relevant trust services categories, and assesses the effectiveness of those controls over a specified period of time. Givecloud's SOC 2 Type II report did not have any noted exceptions and was therefore issued with a “clean” audit opinion from Advantage Partners.

You can now view our SOC 2 report in our Trust Center (https://trust.givecloud.com/). Please let us know if you have any questions.
