We’re thrilled to announce that Raptor Maps has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II certification once again, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to protecting our customers’ data and ensuring robust security practices. This independent certification was conducted by Johanson Group LLP, a premier certification body renowned for its expertise in SOC 2 audits and compliance standards.
Earning this certification reaffirms our dedication to providing a secure, transparent, and trustworthy environment for all stakeholders who rely on our solutions to manage and optimize their solar energy operations.
What Does SOC 2 Type II Certification Mean?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a rigorous auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It assesses how organizations manage customer data and evaluates their adherence to the five trust service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Achieving Type II certification goes a step further than Type I by not only verifying that we have the right systems in place but also demonstrating that those systems are operating effectively over a defined period of time. This certification is widely regarded as the gold standard for organizations that prioritize data security and privacy.

A Look Behind the Certification Process
Earning SOC 2 Type II compliance was no small feat. Over the course of several months, Johanson Group LLP meticulously evaluated our systems, processes, and practices against the SOC 2 standards. This involved:
Risk Assessment: Identifying potential risks to customer data and mitigating them with proactive measures.
Infrastructure Review: Auditing our IT systems, including our cloud infrastructure and network architecture, to ensure they meet the highest security standards.
Policy Implementation: Documenting and enforcing policies to maintain compliance with security and privacy principles.
Operational Evaluation: Assessing the real-world effectiveness of our controls and processes over an extended period.
Our team worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our operations not only met but exceeded the requirements for SOC 2 Type II certification.
