LeapThought Achieves SOC 2 Compliance: Building Trust and Transparency

Written by Admin | December 2023

At LeapThought, we understand the critical role data security plays in today's construction landscape.  As a company dedicated to Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) in the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Owner) sector, we prioritize the protection of your project information.  We're proud to announce that LeapThought has achieved  System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 compliance, demonstrating our commitment to robust security practices.

What is SOC 2?

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is a globally recognized auditing standard for service organizations.  A SOC 2 report verifies that a company's controls meet specific criteria for security, availability, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy (SAICP).  

What does SOC 2 Type 1 mean for you?

Our SOC 2 Type 1 report provides independent verification that LeapThought has designed and documented a comprehensive set of controls to safeguard your data.  This achievement signifies:

  • Strong Internal Controls: We have established and documented internal policies and procedures to manage data security risks.
  • Commitment to Compliance: We adhere to industry best practices and regulatory requirements for data protection.
  • Focus on Risk Management: We proactively identify and mitigate potential security threats.
  • Transparency and Accountability: We are committed to open communication regarding our security posture.

Building trust in the AECO industry

As the AECO industry embraces digital transformation, collaboration across platforms is essential.  However, data security concerns can impede project workflows.  By achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, LeapThought demonstrates our dedication to building trust with our clients and partners.  You can be confident that your project data is protected when using FulcrumHQ, our industry-leading IDD platform.

While our SOC 2 Type 1 certification is a key aspect of ensuring security, we are continuously evaluating and improving our security posture to ensure the highest level of data protection for our clients.
