SOC 2 Type II: Elevating Security and Trust for Utilities
CUSI Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance:
We are proud to announce that CUSI has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to providing secure, reliable, and industry-leading solutions for utilities. This accomplishment builds on our SOC 2 Type I certification, demonstrating our ability to maintain stringent controls over time and continuously uphold the highest standards for security, availability, and operational integrity.
What is SOC 2 Type II, and Why Does It Matter?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) compliance, established by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is a rigorous auditing framework based on the Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance means that CUSI’s systems, processes, and practices have been independently verified to ensure long-term operational excellence and robust data protection.

Dual-Layered Security Assurance
CUSI goes beyond relying on our hosting partner, Microsoft Azure, which is also SOC 2 certified. Instead, we’ve built an additional layer of assurance by achieving our own independent SOC 2 compliance. This means CUSI protects your data not just at the infrastructure level but also within our software and operational practices—ensuring a comprehensive approach to security and accountability.
A Continuous Commitment to Excellence
SOC 2 compliance isn’t a one-time achievement—it’s a continuous journey. At CUSI, we uphold our commitment through:
• Ongoing Monitoring: Regular audits and reviews ensure we adapt to evolving threats and maintain robust security controls.
• Proactive Risk Management: We actively monitor, assess, and mitigate risks to minimize potential vulnerabilities.
• Employee Training: Security is a team effort. From onboarding to regular evaluations, our staff are equipped to uphold best practices at every level.
