Acquis Consulting Group (Acquis) has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type 2 examination, a significant milestone that underscores the firm's commitment to protecting client data and operating with transparency and discipline. The examination, conducted by independent auditing firm Sensiba LLP, resulted in a clean report with no exceptions noted — the highest possible outcome of a SOC 2 audit.
SOC 2 Type 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates how effectively an organization's controls perform over time. Unlike a point-in-time assessment, Type 2 validates that an organization designs its systems and processes appropriately and executes them consistently. The examination evaluated Acquis’ controls over three months against the Trust Services Criteria for Security.
"At Acquis, trust is foundational to every client relationship. Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 reflects the discipline behind how we operate and the accountability we bring to protecting client data," said Joanna Sears, Chief Operating Officer of Acquis.
This achievement strengthens Acquis' ability to support clients across technology implementation, procurement advisory, and strategy and transformation initiatives. It is particularly meaningful for clients in regulated industries, including life sciences, healthcare, and financial services, where secure data handling is critical to execution and outcomes.
Acquis will maintain its attestation through ongoing annual audits and continue to invest in its control environment to keep pace with evolving risks and client expectations.
