Underscoring Commitment to Security and Operational Excellence
February 18th, 2025, Durham, NC – Net Friends, a leading North Carolina-based Managed Services Provider (MSP), today announced the successful completion of its sixth annual SOC 2 Type II audit. This rigorous assessment, conducted by KirkpatrickPrice, validates Net Friends’ unwavering commitment to maintaining stringent security controls and delivering exceptional service quality.
The SOC 2 Type II audit is a widely recognized industry standard that evaluates an organization’s internal controls and processes related to security, availability, and confidentiality. Conducted by an independent third-party, the audit examines these controls over a specified period, providing assurance that they are effectively designed and operating as intended.
KirkpatrickPrice’s comprehensive Type II System and Organization Controls (SOC) Report, completed this month, affirms Net Friends’ compliance with the stringent AICPA Trust Services Criteria. This achievement demonstrates Net Friends’ ongoing dedication to meeting and exceeding industry best practices, ensuring clients receive secure and reliable services.
“Achieving our sixth consecutive SOC 2 Type II compliance is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team,” said John Snyder, President of Net Friends. “This accomplishment reinforces our commitment to providing our clients with the highest level of security and operational excellence. It demonstrates that we have the necessary controls and processes in place to protect their sensitive data and maintain the integrity of our services.”
“I greatly appreciate Net Friends’ approach to the annual SOC 2 audit,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “They are enthusiastic about having their controls tested, which produces a better audit. They want to find issues and they have a growth mindset toward improvement every year. Their clients should receive assurance by using an MSP with such a strong commitment to security.”
