Conducting hundreds of screening calls per day, Apriora constantly handles sensitive information — candidate data, interview results, and client hiring workflows. By achieving SOC 2 compliance, Apriora demonstrates its commitment to protect these data with the utmost care and diligence.

What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) is a widely recognized standard for managing customer data in the cloud. Created by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), it evaluates organizations on five Trust Service Criteria:

1. Security: Protection of data from unauthorized access.
2. Availability: Ensuring systems are operational and accessible as agreed.
3. Processing Integrity: Delivering accurate and timely results.
4. Confidentiality: Protecting sensitive information.
5. Privacy: Proper handling of personal data.

Achieving compliance involves a rigorous, months-long review of an organization’s controls, systems and processes to verify they operate according to these criteria over time.

Sprinto’s Compliance Process

Apriora partnered with Sprinto for compliance certification. Their structured process involved:

1. Discovery and Gap Assessment: analysis of current systems, processes, and controls. This step provides a clear roadmap for what needs to be addressed if gaps exists.
2. Automated Evidence Collection: Sprinto integrates with tools and systems (e.g., AWS, GitHub, Slack) to automatically and continuously gather the necessary data to demonstrate compliance.
3. Policy and Control Implementation: Sprinto provides customizable templates and workflows to help establish the required policies and controls.
4. Continuous Monitoring: Sprinto’s platform enables real-time tracking of compliance status. Alerts and notifications ensure that any deviations from the required controls are flagged and addressed promptly, maintaining readiness for audits at all times.
5. Certification and Ongoing Compliance: once compliance is achieved, Sprinto continues to monitoring systems to ensure compliance as an organization grows and evolves.

This streamlined process enables Apriora to exceed the rigorous standards required for certification while ensuring an efficient workflow and long-term adherence thanks to a trusted partner.
