SPREAD Successfully Completes SOC 2 Type I Examination, Raising the Bar for Data Security in Digital Engineering 

We’re proud to share a major milestone in our commitment to enterprise‑grade security and organizational best practices: SPREAD has completed the SOC 2 Type I examination, and the auditor has issued an unqualified opinion.

Our customers operate in high-stakes industries like defense, aerospace, automotive, and machinery, where strict standards are the norm. This attestation validates the strength of our internal controls and the maturity of our organization. It confirms that we have the right people, processes, and systems in place to manage sensitive data in line with best practices and industry standards. 

What SOC 2 Means for Customers

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is one of the most rigorous and recognized security attestation frameworks worldwide. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), it evaluates how service providers manage customer data based on five trust services criteria: 

1. Security: Protection against unauthorized access. 

1. Availability: Reliable and timely access to systems. 

1. Confidentiality: Safeguarding sensitive information. 

1. Privacy: Responsible handling of personal information. 

SOC 2 Type I attests that controls are suitably designed as of a specific date. SOC 2 Type II evaluates their operating effectiveness over a review period, and our Type II examination is in progress. 

Independent Assurance for Our Customers

For enterprise buyers, SOC 2 is an independent assurance that a vendor has the governance, processes, and controls needed to manage sensitive data and operations without compromise. 

For our customers, this means: 

• Confidence that sensitive data is protected at every stage of the product lifecycle. 

• Trust that our systems and organization are operated with the same rigor as the industries we serve. 

• Reduced security review friction when onboarding SPREAD as a technology partner. 

Our Security Posture Beyond SOC 2

SOC 2 is one layer in SPREAD’s broader, standards-driven security approach: 

• TISAX AL2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. 

• GDPR-compliant 

• Alignment with NIST 800-53, CIS AWS Benchmarks, and AWS Foundational Security Best Practices. 

• Regular third-party penetration testing, plus full support for customer-run pen tests. 

• Detailed, auditable documentation for IT and InfoSec teams. 

• 100% pass rate for all customer and third-party security and organizational audits to date. 

This multi-layered approach ensures that as our platform enables AI-driven collaboration across engineering domains, it does so on a foundation of security and trust. 

Security + transparency = Better decisions

We believe security is strongest when paired with transparency. That's why we provide customers and prospects with secure access to our security and data-protection documentation, certifications, attestations, and audit reports.  

By combining best-in-class security frameworks with a culture of openness, we empower engineering leaders to make informed decisions with confidence. Our team is already working on the SOC 2 Type II examination, which evaluates not only the design of our controls but also their ongoing operating effectiveness. 

As we move forward, our commitment is clear: to continuously strengthen organizational resilience and ensure that every layer of SPREAD, from people and processes to technology, is built on trust.
