(NASDAQ: SPOK) and a global leader in healthcare communications, has earned System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II compliance for Spok Go® solutions, along with Spok paging solutions. This designation follows an audit performed by a Big 4 auditor. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the audit confirms that Spok’s information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 Type II standards for managing customer data based on three trust service principles: security, availability and confidentiality.
“I am proud to report that Spok has maintained SOC 2 Type II compliance certification on our solutions for the past three years,” said Vincent D.

The SOC 2 compliance certification is the most widely recognized method for sharing independently reviewed information about a service organization’s internal controls. The accreditation means that Spok solutions meet or exceed the levels of security required for service providers storing customer data in the cloud.
