    Many companies use SOC 2 background checks to demonstrate their commitment to data security and privacy compliance. However, SOC 2 isn’t a one-time achievement, it's an ongoing pledge to maintaining effective controls. Therefore, it's useful work with a screening vendor who integrates with the compliance platform you already use and who can support you as you scale. To help, we published a list of 10 criteria to consider when selecting a SOC 2 background check vendor: https://lnkd.in/eh3SdFcb

    CEO and cofounder at Vanta

    Vanta began in 2018 by helping founders implement security best practices and obtain key compliance reports, like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. At the time, figuring out how to go about getting a security program off the ground was nigh impossible. We've since grown to build a deeper Trust Management Platform that helps businesses of all sizes build out security and compliance programs and demonstrate their work. Founders remain important to me and to Vanta. This week, we announced several improvements to help founders get from zero to SOC 2 compliant with less effort and angst: 🛣 Personalized compliance roadmaps in product that give clear next steps 📝 Streamlined employee background checks in Vanta, powered by Certn 🛡 Fully embedded cyber insurance through Vouch 🔏 Discounted privacy compliance from Osano 🤝 Bundled partner services like pen tests, vCISO, security program development and more I sometimes see chatter online that Vanta is abandoning founders. Nothing could be further from the truth. Startups and small businesses are our foundation. I look forward to announcing improvements for founders for a long time to come!

    🇨🇦 On July 1st, we went live with another Canadian customer - let's take a look at their stats so far. - ~27k IDV sessions in 38 days, with 95.34% of sessions returning a definitive YES/NO answer in under 5 seconds - This customer has opted for our "High Security" configuration and mans their own manual review queues. They had 1.2K manual reviews, with a 45 second average resolution time via our admin dashboard. - 88.89% of users got approved automatically on their first try. - 1.7K users got rejected on their first attempt. Of these, 510 were successful on their second attempt. Of the remaining 1.2K, 900 were "true rejects", meaning ~300 false rejects from ~27K sessions, or a False Reject Rate (FRR) of 1.11%. - 87% of users completed their document scan and selfie in under 48 seconds. 22% in under 30 seconds. How does this compare to your IDV metrics? #IDVMetrics #RemoteOnboarding #IdentityVerification

    This looks like a real passport, right? In fact, it is! Except it's been edited - I've overlaid my 2024 face on top of my 2011 face 😀 Would your KYC vendor be able to detect such a fraud? I doubt it. If you're serious about fraud detection, let's talk! Trustmatic, a Certn company. #FraudDetection #FakeID #IdentityVerification

    The evolution of #identityverification from Identity 1.0 to Identity 3.0 reflects a profound transformation in how we perceive, manage, and secure our identities in the digital age. With self-sovereign identity, #blockchain technology, and a focus on interoperability and security, Identity 3.0 represents a bold leap forward in empowering individuals with greater control over their personal data while creating trust and supporting innovation in the digital ecosystem. As a leading background screening company, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation. Certn's vision for the future of ID verification, powered by Trustmatic’s ID product leadership, is user-focused, transparent, secure, and decentralized. It’s a future we should all look forward to and actively work toward. Read more at the link in the comments and let us know what you think. ⬇️
