SOC 2 Type II compliance, established by the American Institute of CPAs and reflected on their Service Organization Control reporting platform, means that Cresta has met rigorous requirements for security monitoring, including for known malicious activity and unknown malicious activity regarding customer data in the cloud. PCI-DSS compliance, or the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, and reflects Cresta has met its stringent criteria for securing and protecting cardholder data.
“As Cresta continues growing, our enterprise clients need to know that their data is as secure as possible,” said Zayd Enam, CEO and co-founder of Cresta. “With our focus on uncovering insights from every conversation and delivering real-time actionable coaching, we knew that meeting these standards wasn’t just nice to have — it’s absolutely vital for our growing business.”
