That’s why we are proud to announce that Upbeat has successfully completed a **SOC 2® examination**, conducted by an independent auditor. The **System and Organization Controls (SOC)** framework, developed by the **American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)**, is widely recognized as the standard for evaluating how service providers manage data. Upbeat recently received its SOC 2® report on the organization’s controls relevant to **security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy**. ![21972-312_SOC_NonCPA](https://teachupbeat.com/hs-fs/hubfs/21972-312_SOC_NonCPA.png?width=359&height=357&name=21972-312_SOC_NonCPA.png) ### **What SOC 2® means for our partners** - **Independent assessment**: A licensed CPA conducted the examination of our systems against the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria. - **Peace of mind**: Districts, school leaders, and educators can be confident that data entrusted to Upbeat is handled with care and protected against risks. - **Ongoing commitment**: SOC 2 is not a one-time milestone. We will continue to invest in strong security practices and undergo regular examinations to ensure continuous protection. ### **Why this matters** Educators and district leaders face complex challenges every day. When it comes to security, they shouldn’t have to worry whether their data is safe. Completing this examination reinforces our promise to be a reliable partner — one that takes data protection as seriously as teaching and learning. ### **Learn more** To explore our approach to security, privacy, and compliance, visit our[Data Security page](https://teachupbeat.com/datasecurity).
