Talk to Spot is now SOC 2 Type 2 compliant!
May 1, 2025
This certification validates our ongoing efforts and commitment to protecting the security of our customers’ data.
Why are we excited to share that Talk to Spot has officially achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance? We take security seriously, so you can too. You can tell your employees, with absolute certitude, that their Spot reports are secure and anonymous.
For HR and People teams looking to roll out anonymous incident reporting, compliance teams introducing whistleblowing, legal teams running sensitive people-related processes, or IT teams vetting third-party software, SOC 2 Type 2 signals that Talk to Spot meets the highest standards for data protection and internal controls.
What is SOC 2 Type 2?
SOC 2 reports focus on how well a company protects the security of the services it provides. To earn this certification, an independent auditor, approved by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), reviews a company’s systems and processes to make sure they meet strict security standards. These standards, created by the AICPA, are designed to give organizations confidence when choosing service providers that handle sensitive data or support compliance efforts.
Now, let’s talk about SOC 2 Type 2. While a SOC 2 Type 1 report is a one-time snapshot, Type 2 means that an independent auditor has verified our systems over time. It proves that Talk to Spot is not only secure today, but consistently secure—and that our team is following best practices when it comes to handling sensitive employee reports.
How we earned SOC 2 Type 2 compliance
We partnered with Oneleet to complete the SOC 2 Type 2 process. Their approach stood out because they focus on real security, not just checking boxes. That philosophy matched our existing data security philosophy at Talk to Spot.
So why does this matter for our customers?
Talk to Spot is verified to meet key industry standards for data privacy and security
Our systems are continuously monitored and regularly audited
Your employees’ reports and case management data are encrypted, access-controlled, and stored securely
Trust is a core part of what makes Talk to Spot work. Organizations use Talk to Spot to conduct investigations into highly sensitive issues and to run processes with legal ramifications. They store sensitive, confidential data in our platform, and count on us to be an effective risk management tool. On the employee side, people come to us to share hard things: HR incidents, misconduct, fraud, violence, security issues, retaliation—the list goes on. If our platform didn’t take security seriously, we wouldn’t deserve that trust.
Organizations that choose Spot can rest assured that their information is securely kept.
We now have the certification to prove what we’ve believed all along: Security isn’t an afterthought. It’s foundational to how Talk to Spot helps organizations create responsive, accountable workplaces.
