VOLT AI Achieves SOC 2 Type 1 Compliance: A Milestone in Security and Trust
for K-12 Public Schools
At VOLT AI, our mission is to protect people and places with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions. Today, we are excited to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards excellence in security and data protection: VOLT AI is now SOC 2 Type 1 compliant.
What is SOC 2 Type 1 Compliance?
SOC 2, which stands for System and Organization Controls 2, is a rigorous auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It is designed for service providers storing customer data in the cloud, ensuring that they manage data securely to protect the interests and privacy of their clients. The Type 1 report focuses on the suitability of the design of controls at a specific point in time.
Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance demonstrates that VOLT AI has implemented and follows strict information security policies and procedures to safeguard customer data against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other vulnerabilities.
The Journey to SOC 2 Type 1 Compliance
Our journey to SOC 2 Type 1 compliance was driven by our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security and trust. This achievement is the result of months of rigorous preparation, including:
- Internal Assessments: Conducting thorough internal audits to evaluate our current security measures and identify areas for improvement.
- Policy Enhancements: Updating and enhancing our information security policies and procedures to meet SOC 2 standards.
- Employee Training: Ensuring that all team members are well-versed in our security protocols and understand their roles in maintaining data security.
- Third-Party Audit: Engaging an independent, certified public accountant (CPA) to perform the SOC 2 Type 1 audit and verify that our controls are suitably designed and operating effectively.
What This Means for Our Clients
For our clients, SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is a testament to our unwavering dedication to security and privacy. Here’s what this achievement means for you:
- Enhanced Trust: Knowing that VOLT AI meets stringent security standards builds greater trust and confidence in our ability to protect your data.
- Risk Mitigation: Our robust security measures reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, safeguarding your sensitive information.
- Compliance Assurance: Partnering with a SOC 2 compliant provider helps you meet your own regulatory and compliance requirements more effectively.
Looking Ahead: SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance
While SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is a significant accomplishment, our journey doesn’t stop here. We are already working towards achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, which evaluates the operating effectiveness of our controls over a period of time. This will further demonstrate our long-term commitment to maintaining the highest level of security and operational excellence.

Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is a major step forward in our mission to provide secure, reliable AI solutions for our clients.
