Independent Audit Verifies Castra Managed Services’ Internal Controls and Processes
Durham, NC – Castra Managed Services, an information security managed service provider, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit. This attestation provides evidence that Castra Managed Services has a strong commitment to deliver high quality services to its clients by demonstrating they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
SOC 2 engagements are based on the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria.

Castra’s team states, “As a transparent managed security service provider, Castra is proud to uphold the highest level of internal controls. Over 2,000 organizations all over the world lean on Castra and expect nothing but the best. Our SOC 2 accreditation is a testament to how much we care about upholding our commitment to providing the highest level of service and transparency.”
