Cigo Completes SOC 2 Type 1 Attestation with Laika
Cigo is committed to the industry’s highest standards for managing customer data
Cigo, a cloud-based delivery platform designed to simplify complex delivery and service operations, announced they have completed the SOC 2 Type 1 attestation.
“Cigo Tracker is a delivery management platform that works with businesses globally in the last-mile logistics sector,” said Cigo CTO Cyrille B. Delavenne. “Ensuring the security and privacy of the data stored and handled by our service is of the utmost importance. It truly showcases our organization’s commitment to maintaining high security and privacy standards of the data of our valued clients.”
SOC 2 is a rigorous compliance standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that is designed to specify how organizations should manage customer data. As part of the attestation process, Cigo completed a thorough SOC 2 Type 1 compliance audit, providing documentation on processes, data management infrastructure, and a progressive approach to data access permissions.
While the Type 1 audit is not a required prerequisite to Type 2, organizations like Cigo who complete the Type 1 first are helping to mitigate potential audit loops and timeline extensions by ensuring their compliance program design is fundamentally sound before entering the Type 2 observation period.

To earn this attestation, Cigo partnered with Laika, a compliance-as-a-service platform that helps companies manage infosec and privacy compliance, obtain security certifications and build credibility with their customers. Cigo executed SOC 2 Type 1 by working with Laika’s integrated audit feature via Laika Compliance, LLC. Next, Cigo will begin a months-long monitoring period as part of their SOC 2 Type 2 audit process where auditors will observe how well their controls are operating.
