Portland, OR – January 21, 2025 – Prialto, a leading provider of managed virtual assistant services, is proud to announce that it has achieved the Systems and Organizational Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 compliance. This status validates Prialto’s risk management, adherence to industry standards, and commitment to data security and confidentiality.
Prialto is one of the first in the virtual assistant industry to take this voluntary extra security step to protect their customers.
SOC 2 is an auditing standard created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) related to information security, confidentiality, availability, and privacy. SOC 2 Type 1 compliance evaluates an organization’s cybersecurity controls and whether they meet the relevant trust services criteria.
“We are extremely proud to announce our SOC 2 certification,” said Howard Behr, Prialto’s Chief Operating Officer. “The verification validates the many steps that we have taken to protect our customers’ data and the audit process provided us with the tools to further expand the controls and safeguards at Prialto setting an even higher bar for our virtual assistant services.”
“This has laid the groundwork for SOC 2 Type 2 certification for which we have already started the audit process to get it completed in 2025. This is just one of the many steps that Prialto continues to take to ensure that we provide the highest level of security and compliance for our customers,” Behr added.
Prialto partnered with a professional third-party auditor, AssuranceLab, to audit systems against more than 80 requirements. This process included an extensive examination of Prialto’s organization, standards, controls, business processes, and more.
"The number of remote staffing options for small businesses and large enterprises have dramatically increased since 2020 and we are all now growing the market together. Prialto stands apart in having built toward this moment for over 15 years. We are thrilled that we can draw upon our millions of hours of support experience, the best practices and the insights we have garnered to invest in continuously upleveling our offerings." Said Prialto CEO and Co-Founder, Eric Taussig.
"This investment in SOC 2 reflects our intent to continue supporting our accounts into the distant future. We have many such initiatives in the works to increase the robustness of our managed service through 2025 and beyond."
This compliance reflects Prialto’s commitment to providing secure business solutions to members worldwide. Prialto has already started the next audit cycle to achieve SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, continuing to build an industry-leading virtual assistant service committed to keeping customer devices and data protected.
