DocNetwork proudly announces that the SchoolDoc EHR achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, reaching the pinnacle of data management excellence. At SchoolDoc, empowering schools with essential data solutions is our mission, and achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance reflects our unwavering commitment to this goal. With SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance certifications, K-12 schools using SchoolDoc are assured that their student data is secure and health privacy standards are upheld.

In the fast-changing world of data management and security, staying in front of evolving security demands can be extremely challenging, making student software solutions more essential than ever. With the SchoolDoc SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA-compliant EHR platform, you can take a proactive approach to establishing, executing, and maintaining the highest standards of data control.

Ensuring the safety of students at school is paramount, and so is protecting student data.

Beyond the primary mission of keeping children safe during school hours, after-care, and summer programs, schools have an obligation to maintain the security and confidentiality of student data. Schools gather vast amounts of data and need seamless access to it, all while upholding stringent data protection standards. Using paper forms is not a practical solution – it is time-consuming, inefficient, and simply not a reliable method to provide the data you need when you need it.

Why is SOC 2 Type 2 compliance important to schools?

Let SchoolDoc manage the data security concerns so you can focus resources on your students and school programs. As a SOC 2 Type 2 certified service provider and HIPAA-compliant software, SchoolDoc users can trust that our platform adheres to the highest standards of data security and privacy.

Understanding SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance and How it is Achieved

Ensuring robust and compliant data protection is a continuous endeavor. The SOC 2 cybersecurity framework is crafted to guarantee that third-party service providers prioritize safeguarding client information. Rooted in the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 Type 2 represents the pinnacle of data security protocols. The journey to achieving SOC 2 Type 2 certification begins with a SOC 2 Type 1 audit to confirm that the necessary systems are in place. Following this, a SOC 2 Type 2 audit is conducted to verify that the SchoolDoc information security practices, policies, and procedures are both established and consistently applied over time.

Are you protecting student information with a compliant data collection, EHR, and eMAR system?
