PEMBROKE PINES, FL – February 14, 2025 – Emphasys Software (Emphasys) is proud to announce that it has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, a significant milestone in our commitment to data security and operational excellence. In an era where data security is paramount, especially for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) handling sensitive resident information, this certification underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of digital security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is a testament to our commitment to data security and operational excellence. This certification not only validates our efforts but also reinforces our dedication to providing the highest level of trust and security to our Public Housing Authority partners,” said Nick Kubasak, Director of New Development at Emphasys Software.
What is SOC 2 Type 2?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It assesses the design and operational effectiveness of an organization’s systems and processes related to five Trust Service Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Unlike SOC 2 Type 1, which evaluates controls at a specific point in time, SOC 2 Type 2 provides evidence that these controls are not only well-designed but also consistently functioning over a specified period, typically 3-12 months. This makes SOC 2 Type 2 the gold standard for PHAs that prioritize long-term trust and reliability.
Why Emphasys Software’s SOC 2 Type 2 Matters to PHAs
Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance assures PHAs that Emphasys Software continues to prioritize data security and operational excellence, even as cyber threats grow and regulations tighten. This certification validates that Emphasys Software provides enterprise-level security for PHA data secured in our Elite software within the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. It marks another milestone in our commitment to providing the highest level of security and trust to our affordable housing partners.
