What is SOC 2 compliance – and why it matters to your creative projects

The SOC 2 compliance certification is an internationally recognized standard that focuses on five key principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

ftrack underwent an extensive audit by impartial external auditors to ensure compliance with SOC 2’s Security criteria. The successful completion of this audit underscores our dedication to the transparency, accountability, and responsibility we hold when managing the security and integrity of your – and your clients’ – data.

  • Secure your competitive edge with powerful data protection. Your assets and projects aren’t just data; they’re your business advantage. With SOC 2 compliance as evidence of our efforts, ftrack has put in place rigorous security measures to shield your data from unauthorized intrusion and potential weaknesses. At any stage of your creative project, you can rest assured that sensitive assets, review feedback, and creative schedules are handled by ftrack with the greatest commitment to security standards.
  • Foster client trust with confidentiality they can count on. Our SOC 2 compliance and rigorous third-party audits serve as an extra layer of assurance for ftrack users and the clients they work with. With SOC 2, we offer a strong assurance that we actively protect the confidentiality of all data that runs through our platform and adhere to the strict protocols designed to prevent unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the assets and projects you’re entrusted with.
  • We’re committed to safeguarding your most-prized asset: the content you create. Our SOC 2 compliance isn’t just a badge – it’s our pledge to actively safeguard your data. At ftrack, we’re committed to ensuring that whatever data you’re working with – whether with ftrack Studio or ftrack Review – is managed with the diligence and care your and your clients’ IP deserves. From the moment an idea enters ftrack, our systems are designed to keep it safe.
