How d1g1t Ensures the Security of Your Financial Data

 
With the rise of high-profile cyber attacks and data breaches becoming more prevalent and sophisticated, people are increasingly aware of the threats that exist around data security. As a result, there is an expectation that companies maintain comprehensive security measures that protect their sensitive data.

As a digital wealth management platform company that provides advanced analytics and risk management, securing your data is essential to our services. We handle sensitive financial information and rely heavily on the trust of our clients, which can only be maintained through strict security measures and data protection protocols.

At d1g1t, safeguarding our clients’ sensitive financial information is of the utmost importance to us. We prioritize security and data integrity by implementing rigorous measures within our software and team processes to ensure confidentiality, availability, and security.

 

d1g1t’s SOC 2 Type II Certification

In May 2022, the d1g1t team achieved SOC 2 Type II certification for our wealth management platform. The System and Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II certification is completed through an audit and report from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The SOC 2 report assesses security controls d1g1t has in place to address security, availability, and confidentiality. This certification ensures secure and confidential data management for clients by SaaS providers.

To achieve SOC 2 Type II certification, a company must demonstrate that it has implemented appropriate security and data protection controls over the past year. Currently, d1g1t is being audited on security, availability, and confidentiality for the 2023 annual SOC 2 certification (which will be available in May 2023). Security refers to the measures taken to detect and prevent unauthorized access, damage, or theft of information. Availability ensures that authorized users have access to the information they need, when they need it. Confidentiality ensures that sensitive data is protected from disclosure to unauthorized parties.

We are currently working towards including process integrity and privacy assessment in our 2024 audit.

The d1g1t security team, led by our Director of Information Security and Risk, Todd Wade, is focused on ensuring security is a central pillar of our organization and services.

In today’s digital landscape, clients expect their software providers to understand security and related concerns thoroughly. At d1g1t, our entire team is focused on building and maintaining their knowledge and expertise to foster trust and confidence in our clients.
