In fact, <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trust<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is one of our core Litmus principles. <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trust<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> permeates everything we do at Litmus. We want Litmus to be a partner you can count on, so we constantly improve the reliability of our product, focus on delivering the best customer support, and put privacy and security at the center of everything we do. With this mindset, we recently undertook the process of a SOC 2 Type 1 examination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s SOC 2 and why does it matter?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The SOC 2 report is an independent CPA attestation that provides opinions on our operational controls at Litmus. SOC 2, as a framework, covers controls that are relevant to the security, availability, or processing integrity of a system. These are called Trust Services. Litmus decided to focus on the Security Trust Service, and the examination was conducted by Schellman &amp; Company, LLC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Litmus is very proud to have successfully completed the SOC 2 Type 1 examination on August 31, 2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Trust Principle<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Litmus information security policies cover a lot of varying processes and parts of our business. On the highest level, they encompass processes from how we onboard new employees to Litmus and assign access to systems, to how we make changes to our production software. So let\u2019s just say, this has been a lot of work. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But, our work on <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trust<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as a core principle of Litmus actually began a couple of years ago. Litmus lets the Trust principle guide us in several areas of our organization and product that set us apart:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>We launched Enterprise-class Security Controls to empower Litmus customers to gain full control over their accounts<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With <\/span><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/litmus.com\/email-advanced-security\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Litmus\u2019 Advanced Enterprise Security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> features, we give you the tools you need to control user access to Litmus and protect your data. Easily authenticate and manage user access with single sign-on powered by SAML, prevent unauthorized access with two-step verification, and tailor Litmus\u2019 security settings to meet the unique requirements of your business with custom password rules, session timeout lengths, and more.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>We choose vendors and partners with care and ensure they comply with the highest privacy and security standards<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each vendor and subprocessor that handles data on behalf of Litmus must comply with Litmus\u2019 data processing standards. We ensure that vendors are and stay compliant through an onboarding process and regular tracking and auditing of our vendors and partners.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>We have a dedicated Security and Site Reliability Team<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Security, privacy, and reliability are crucial, and maintaining the highest standard takes time and resources. That\u2019s why we have staff focused on just that. Plus, we\u2019ve invested significantly in infrastructure to improve the fault-tolerance, speed, and reliability of our platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>We implemented an industry-leading Privacy Management System<\/strong><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our privacy management system helps us with the governance around information asset tracking, allows us to reliably handle data subject access requests (DSAR) under GDPR, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next steps in making Litmus a partner you can trust<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Litmus is in this for the long haul. We\u2019ll continue our process maturity and undergo a SOC 2 Type 2 examination in early 2020. But, we\u2019re not stopping there. Litmus will continue investing in our team, product, and infrastructure to ensure we\u2019re providing privacy and security protections that we would expect for the handling of our own data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can learn more about what makes Litmus a partner you can count on at <\/span><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/litmus.com\/trust\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">www.litmus.com\/trust<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
