Aderant’s Expert Sierra SaaS Platform Successfully Completes SOC 2 Type II Certification Establishing Greater Commitment to Data Security

ATLANTA – January 5, 2023 – Aderant, a leading global business management software provider for law firms, today announced its successful completion of a SOC 2® Type II audit, resulting in earning the company the SOC 2 certification with no reported exceptions noted for its Expert Sierra SaaS Platform. Compliance with SOC 2 requirements indicates that Aderant has effectively implemented information security controls to ensure the protection of customer data.

The SOC 2 audit was conducted by leading compliance assessor A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance partner. A-LIGN is trusted by more than 2,500 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.

“Providing our clients with assurance of our security controls is integral to building client trust and longstanding relationships,” remarked Jessica Mifflin, Aderant’s Director of Information Security & Privacy. “Aderant has a mature security program with a robust set of controls designed to provide best-in-class data protection. Pursuing the SOC 2 Type II examination was an important step to providing our clients with even greater confidence that their data is carefully stored and protected. Achieving this independent certification marks an important milestone for Aderant. It assures our clients that we have implemented effective processes and controls to protect the security, availability, and confidentiality of their data.”

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures, and operations have been formally reviewed.

“A SOC 2 audit is a statement about an organization’s commitment to protecting their information.” said Stephanie Oyler-Rankin, SOC Practice Lead at A-LIGN. “As a trusted third-party assessment firm, A-LIGN independently evaluates client data processes and procedures, governance on internal controls and security posture. Aderant’s SOC 2 report validates its commitment to data security and protection, as well as compliance with critical standards to mitigate cybersecurity threats.”
