Uniguest announced it has achieved SOC 2 Type 1 certification for its Hub Digital Engagement Platform and Hub Enterprise Cloud AV Solution. The company said this strengthens its credentials for enterprise and corporate deployments.

SOC 2 is a recognized auditing standard for data security developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Type 1 certification confirms that Uniguest’s systems and controls are designed to meet strict criteria for security, availability and confidentiality at a specific point in time.

Uniguest said that security and compliance have become critical considerations as organizations have deployed more AV and digital engagement platforms across corporate networks. The certification is designed to provide customers with assurance that digital signage, IPTV and engagement workflows delivered through Hub are supported by safeguards, while also including access controls, encryption and continuous system monitoring.

“Security is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s a baseline requirement for enterprise AV,” said James Keen, executive vice president of marketing at Uniguest. “Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 confirms that the foundations of our platforms are built to meet those expectations. As more customers move to cloud-based deployments, they need confidence that their data and systems are protected.”

The SOC 2 Type 1 certification is meant to assess the design of security controls. Uniquest is now progressing toward the SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which will validate how those controls have performed over time.

The company said that the milestone reflects its continued investment in strengthening the reliability and resilience of its Hub platform.
