OWIT Global (OWIT), the leader in cloud-based insurance-specific microservices architected solutions to digitalize the global insurance industry, announced that it has successfully completed the System and Organization Controls SOC 2 Type II examination for the Bordereaux Management Solution. This certification follows OWIT’s successful completion of its ISO 27001 yearly audit in April 2023.

“The successful completion of our SOC 2 Type II examination demonstrates to OWIT’s clients the assurance that controls and safeguards we employ to protect and secure their data are in line with industry standards and best practices.”

OWIT Chief Executive Officer and President Wendy Aarons-Corman commented, “When we started our business, we were committed to providing solutions that support the modern need for digitalization of process and data integrity. We also knew that complying with the rigorous requirements of ISO and SOC 2 was critical to demonstrating to our customers that we have strong security controls and processes in place. With the industry becoming more reliant on data consumption and transmission, working with a vendor that is SOC 2 compliant is critical.”

OWIT chose Turnkey Compliance, LLC, a leading security and compliance company, to prepare its organization internally for the rigorous requirements of the SOC 2 Type II external examination. TurnKey initially performed a gap analysis of OWIT’s people, process, and technology against the SOC 2 requirements and worked extensively with OWIT stakeholders by conducting risk assessments, internal audits, and readiness assessments to identify process and control improvements prior to the external examination.
