About SOC 2 examination

Assessment across various components, including infrastructure, software, data, and operations

The SOC 2 examination, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates an organisation’s capacity to secure customer’s personal assets.

It provides an assessment across various components, including infrastructure, software, data, and operations. Globally acknowledged, the SOC 2 report confirms that a company has undergone a thorough evaluation regarding these aspects.

Alcatraz utilises AI-driven facial authentication technology for secure and efficient access in sensitive environments. The company's Rock X solution is implemented across a range of sites, including Fortune 100 campuses, AI data centres, financial institutions, stadiums, and government facilities, where precision and compliance are crucial.

This technology ensures privacy with opt-in enrollment, encrypted biometrics, and comprehensive audit reports supporting compliance with GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and BIPA data protection frameworks.
