The 20 MSP Underscores Commitment to Security with SOC 2 Certification

Leading National MSP Successfully Completes SOC 2 Type 2 Audit

PLANO, Texas, Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 20 MSP, a leading provider of managed IT services with a strong national presence, today announced its achievement of Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II compliance. Achieving this milestone with an unqualified opinion provides the rapidly growing organization with third-party industry validation of its firm commitment to protecting client data through the implementation of robust security measures and strict adherence to security best practices.

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is an auditing framework which defines criteria and controls for managing and securing sensitive information processed by service organizations. These criteria pertain to five key areas (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy), and are widely recognized as setting the gold standard for information security practices within service organizations.

"This milestone affirms our relentless pursuit of excellence in information security," said Tim Conkle, Chief Executive Officer at The 20 MSP. "We pride ourselves on not only meeting but exceeding industry standards when it comes to protecting our clients' sensitive information, and it's gratifying to receive third-party validation for our efforts. The plan now: continue improving and innovating to remain at the forefront of information security."

The 20's SOC 2 audit was conducted by Prescient Assurance, a leader in security and compliance attestation for B2B, SaaS companies worldwide, and involved a comprehensive examination of the The 20's security controls and processes. This evaluation resulted in a resoundingly positive report and unqualified opinion from Prescient; The 20's operations, policies, and procedures all met or surpassed the SOC 2 requirements, underscoring the national MSP's powerful and proactive approach to data security and risk management.

As a national MSP with a diverse clientele, The 20 takes a lead role in securing data across vital industries where protection is non-negotiable. Serving clients in finance, healthcare, manufacturing and more, The 20 recognizes the critical link between stringent security standards and the success of each partner.

"This certification is just the latest demonstration of how seriously we take this responsibility. While we can't promise a threat-free world, we can promise the best security practices and processes an MSP can offer."
