PetScreening Successfully Completes Type 2 SOC 2 Audit

Certification Underscores Company's Commitment to Data Protection 

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PetScreening, which offers the rental housing industry's first and leading pet policy management software at no charge to property owners and managers, today announced the successful completion of its Type 2 SOC 2 audit, an all-encompassing cybersecurity assessment.

The audit was conducted by leading compliance assessor A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance partner trusted by more than 2,500 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.

"Cybersecurity is a fundamental focus for PetScreening, as the data of our partners is invaluable and should never be compromised," said John Bradford, founder and CEO of PetScreening. "While we will always remain diligent to take the proper steps with regard to data security, a successful completion of the most reputable and recognized cybersecurity audit validates our efforts."

PetScreening successfully completed the Type 1 SOC 2 audit in early 2023 and recently completed the farther-reaching Type 2 audit. While a Type 1 audit addresses the design of controls at a certain point in time, a Type 2 audit addresses the operating effectiveness of controls over a period of time.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company's infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.

PetScreening is the nation's leading centralized database that analyzes pet-related risk in rental housing. Through PetScreening, a rental applicant enters information about their pets during the application process and the platform weighs various pet-related factors, including a community's specific restrictions, such as breed and weight, and analyzes the behavior history of the pet and pet owner. This provides property owners with a streamlined process to comprehensively assess a specific pet and pet owner who want to live at a rental property. PetScreening also uses a team of experts to review reasonable accommodation requests for assistance animals for property teams.
