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

We’re proud to announce that SPREAD has completed its SOC 2 Type II examination, demonstrating that our security, availability, and confidentiality controls are designed appropriately and operate effectively over time.

This milestone follows our SOC 2 Type I attestation obtained in August 2025 and represents a significant deepening of the assurance we provide to customers who rely on SPREAD for mission-critical engineering operations.

Engineering organizations in automotive, aerospace, defense, and machinery expect the highest level of operational integrity from their partners. SOC 2 Type II demonstrates that SPREAD’s controls are not only well-designed but consistently executed, an essential requirement for platforms handling sensitive product data and powering cross-functional engineering workflows.

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. 

SPREAD obtained its SOC 2 Type I attestation in August 2025, which validated that our security, availability, and confidentiality controls were designed appropriately at a specific point in time.

But Type I is only the starting point. Our customers operate in environments where reliability, continuity, and operational integrity are essential. To meet those expectations, we advanced immediately to the SOC 2 Type II examination, a deeper, more demanding assessment that evaluates whether those controls function consistently over an extended review period.

Type II provides evidence that SPREAD’s controls operated as intended across the examination period, demonstrating that our control environment performs reliably and as designed, day after day.

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. 

As our platform powers increasingly complex engineering intelligence across R&D, production, and aftermarket across the automotive, defense, aerospace, and rail industries, we continue to invest in controls that ensure reliability, continuity, and data integrity.

Security + transparency = Better decisions

While SOC 2 reports are restricted-use documents, SPREAD makes its Type I and Type II reports available to customers and qualified prospects under NDA.
This allows security, procurement, and compliance teams to assess SPREAD’s control environment with the required level of detail.

We pair this transparency with comprehensive access to policies, procedures, and security documentation through our Trust Center.

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. 

Completing our SOC 2 Type II examination is part of SPREAD’s ongoing commitment to operating with the reliability, clarity, and rigor expected by the world’s most advanced engineering organizations.

As our customers build the next generation of software-defined products, they can do so knowing that SPREAD is strengthening its internal foundations with the same discipline we help them bring to their products.
