Nectir AI Achieves SOC 2 Certification!

Reinforcing Our Commitment to Security in Higher Education

Here at Nectir, we deeply understand that trust and security are paramount, especially when it comes to student and institutional data in higher education. We're thrilled to announce that Nectir AI has officially achieved SOC 2 certification—a significant milestone underscoring our unwavering dedication to maintaining the highest standards of data security, privacy, and compliance.

What Does SOC 2 Certification Mean?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is the gold standard in data security certifications for technology providers. It demonstrates our platform's adherence to rigorous standards related to:

• Security: Robust protection measures against unauthorized access, cyber threats, and breaches.
• Availability: Ensuring Nectir AI remains reliable and accessible when students and faculty need it most.
• Processing Integrity: Accurate, timely, and secure processing of all interactions on our platform.
• Confidentiality: Protecting sensitive educational data through advanced encryption and secure storage.
• Privacy: Strictly complying with data privacy standards, including FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act).

Our Comprehensive SOC 2 Review Process

Achieving SOC 2 certification involves an extensive and meticulous review process, taking several months to complete. During this period, independent auditors rigorously evaluate numerous security measures and operational controls, including:

• Infrastructure security
• Data encryption protocols
• Access management policies
• Incident response strategies
• System monitoring and logging
• Vendor and third-party management
• Disaster recovery and business continuity plans

By successfully meeting these stringent criteria, Nectir AI demonstrates its capability to securely manage and protect critical educational data.
