SOC 2 Type II, developed to provide assurance over cybersecurity controls, is the most comprehensive certification within the systems and organization controls (SOC) standards.Achieved through a rigorous independent audit and assessment based on the five trust service principles (TSPs): security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy, third-party inspectors are given access to control documentation and are able to test and sample cloud-based systems to ensure information security. The examination of Redwood was completed by third-party audit firm 360 Advanced, Inc., who thoroughly evaluated the operating effectiveness of Redwood’s internal controls over a period of time.

Security, trust, assurance and risk (STAR) certification from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is the industry’s most powerful program for security assurance in the cloud. Encompassing the key principles and standards of transparency, rigorous auditing and harmonization in the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) combined with the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 management system, CSA’s STAR certification requires a rigorous third-party independent security assessment of cloud service providers.
