Today we announced Shoutlet has become the first Social Media Management System (SMMS) to meet the high standard of security and reliability as determined by The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). (See coverage here)

The SOC 2 audit performed by BDO USA, LLP means Shoutlet has earned a stamp of approval for best practices regarding policies, procedures, and processes related to security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy for demonstrating a strong system of internal controls.

But what does it mean for Shoutlet users? Some benefits include:

•       Restriction of confidential information solely to the user
•       Encryption of all sensitive social data
•       Rigorous review process prior to new feature and product releases
•       Independent verification of all control objectives and activities

Ultimately, it provides our customers with peace of mind that their information is in the safest hands.

We’re thrilled to be the first social management tool to undergo such rigorous security and penetration testing of our systems. A huge thank you to everyone at Shoutlet who helped make this possible.
