LabArchives Completes SOC2 Audit for ELN

Today we are excited to announce that LabArchives Electronic Lab Notebook has successfully completed an AICPA SOC 2 audit.

What is one of the biggest concerns we hear from researchers and research admins and research administration? How can I be sure that the data I am collecting and working with stays confidential and remains unchanged once I have put it in place. Said differently, the security of the data put into an ELN is as important as the research activity itself. It’s easy to say that a company is committed to security, but the demonstration of that commitment comes through action. Today we are excited to announce that LabArchives Electronic Lab Notebook has successfully completed an AICPA SOC 2 audit which confirms the level and extent of security within the processes and technology of our system. The security of the data that researchers put into LabArchives electronic lab notebooks has always been at the core of our flagship product, but now we have a tangible way to demonstrate this fact. The SOC2 Type 2 audit of our ELN product, focused on four major trust principles:

  • Security,
  • Availability,
  • Processing Integrity, and
  • Confidentiality

and highlights the ways customers can be confident in placing their research and education information into our ELN.

Additionally, to further demonstrate our ongoing investment in ensuring the confidentiality, availability and integrity of we are pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Ayala as the Chief Information Security Officer for LabArchives.
