Independent Audit Verifies Bento’s Internal Controls and Processes

Boston, MA – Bento, a cloud-based software and technology company revolutionizing dental benefits, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, performed by KirkpatrickPrice. This attestation provides evidence that Bento has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating that they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.

A SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA. During the audit, a service organization’s non-financial reporting controls as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system are tested. The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of Bento’s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.

“The SOC 2 audit results underscore our dedication to customer and patient security,” Said Ram Sudireddy, CEO & Founder of Bento. “Bento remains steadfast in delivering a premier and secure user experience for all of our clients.  I would also highlight that we are the only company partnering with DSO’s and small practices to create and launch In-Office Dental Membership Plans who is known to consistently maintain a SOC 2 certification year over year – again, reflecting our strong commitment to data security.”

“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “Bento delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on Bento’s controls.”
