Sahara AI Achieves SOC 2 Compliance: Raising the Bar for Security in Decentralized AI

Dec 5, 2024

We’re thrilled to announce that Sahara AI has achieved SOC 2 compliance, successfully completing both SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications. This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to security, transparency, and building trust with our users and partners.

What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a rigorous compliance standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates organizations based on five Trust Services Criteria:

  • Security (required): Ensures systems and data are protected against unauthorized access through robust safeguards like encryption, firewalls, and access controls.

  • Availability: Confirms systems are reliable and accessible, with measures like backups and disaster recovery to ensure uptime.

  • Processing Integrity: Guarantees data is processed accurately and reliably, supporting dependable outputs for AI models.

  • Confidentiality: Protects sensitive information by restricting access to authorized personnel and using encryption to secure data.

  • Privacy: Ensures personal data is collected, stored, and used in compliance with privacy laws, maintaining ethical and transparent practices.

SOC 2 certification comes in two forms:

  • Type 1: Validates that an organization has the proper systems in place at a specific point in time.

  • Type 2: Confirms that those systems remain effective over a sustained observation period.

How Sahara AI is Enhancing Security, Availability, and Confidentiality for AI Developers

Our SOC 2 compliance specifically validates our practices for Security, Availability, and Confidentiality, demonstrating that Sahara AI has implemented and consistently maintains robust controls to protect sensitive information.

This means:

  • We have stringent measures in place to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring your data remains safe from potential threats.

  • Confidential information is safeguarded through encryption, restricted access, and other state-of-the-art security measures.

  • Systems are built to ensure reliability and consistent availability, supporting uninterrupted access to services.

Security, availability, and confidentiality are critical in AI development, especially in decentralized ecosystems. Our SOC 2 compliance is a testament to the trustworthiness and dependability of our platform. Ensuring that sensitive data is protected while maintaining user trust empowers developers to focus on innovation without concerns about data misuse or breaches.
