SOC 2 Type II: Miracle’s Commitment to Data Privacy and Security

At Miracle, we understand that our role in innovating clinical trial management and clinical operations extends far beyond providing cutting-edge technology. It's about building a foundation of trust with our partners, grounded in the assurance that their data is protected by the most rigorous security standards in the industry. Miracle’s SOC 2 compliance and SOC 2 Type II certification is one of many ways that we are ensuring the utmost security and privacy, in addition to HIPAA, GDPR, etc., which we discuss in our other blog posts.

Understanding SOC 2 Type II

Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II certification is a gold standard for data security and privacy. Unlike its counterpart, SOC 2 Type I, which assesses the design of security processes at a single point in time, Type II goes further. It evaluates the operational effectiveness of these controls over a period. This thorough audit ensures that a company not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to safeguarding customer data against unauthorized access and information leakage.

SOC 2 Type II focuses on five trust service principles:

1. Security: The system is protected against unauthorized access (both physical and logical).
2. Availability: The system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
3. Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized.
4. Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed.
5. Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of in conformity with the commitments in the entity’s privacy notice.
