YakChat Earns SoC 2 Type 1 Certification

London, UK, May 27, 2025 – YakChat Ltd., A global leader in secure, compliant messaging integration for enterprise collaboration platforms, is proud to announce it has successfully achieved System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 certification. This milestone affirms YakChat’s ongoing commitment to data security, privacy, and compliance across its cloud-based messaging platform.

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is an in-depth auditing framework that ensures service providers securely manage customer data to protect the interests of both the organization and its clients. For businesses serving highly regulated industries—such as financial services, healthcare, and government—SOC 2 certification provides critical validation of a vendor’s security practices.


The SOC 2 Type 1 report confirms that YakChat has implemented rigorous internal controls designed to meet the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria for security. This independent third-party assessment reflects YakChat’s investment in secure architecture, risk management practices, and operational integrity.


“Security and trust are foundational to everything we do at YakChat,” said David Ward, CEO of YakChat Ltd. “Our customers rely on us to deliver secure, compliant, and seamless communication tools within the platforms they already use. This certification underscores our dedication to protecting their data while continuing to innovate.”

YakChat continues to invest in its security and compliance program, including the pursuit of SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which it expects to complete later this year.
