April 30, 2025– Escalon Services, a leading provider of back-office solutions for startups and SMBs, proudly announces that it has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance. This milestone reflects Escalon’s ongoing commitment to safeguarding customer data with the highest standards of security and operational excellence. 

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 Type II attestation is a rigorous, independent audit that evaluates a company’s information security controls over an extended period of time. By completing this audit, Escalon demonstrates that its policies, procedures, and operations meet strict requirements for data confidentiality, availability, and integrity. 

“Our clients trust us with sensitive financial and operational data and achieving SOC 2 Type II attestation validates the strength of our internal security practices and reflects our dedication to protecting that trust at every level of our organization,” said Andre Steffens, Vice President of IT Operations. 

Key Security Practices at Escalon Include: 

  • Comprehensive Information Security Program – Aligned with SOC 2 standards and enforced company-wide. 
  • Confidentiality & Access Controls – Role-based access, encryption at rest and in transit, and strict access governance. 
  • Continuous Monitoring & Third-Party Audits – Ongoing oversight and regular penetration testing. 
  • Security Awareness Training – All employees are educated in best practices, including phishing prevention and password hygiene.
