Corporate News
uSonar Co., Ltd., a specialist in corporate data, is pleased to announce that it has obtained "SOC2 Type2" certification, an internationally recognized assurance report for internal controls, for its suite of database services, including PLANSonar and mSonar. This achievement establishes a framework that allows enterprise clients and organizations with rigorous security requirements to adopt and utilize our services with greater speed and peace of mind.

What Is the International Security Standard "SOC2 Type2"?
SOC2 stands for "System and Organization Controls 2." It is a framework established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates internal controls related to the security of cloud services and other systems based on the Trust Services Criteria, conducted by independent third-party organizations such as audit firms or certified public accountants.
"Type1" evaluates the design of internal controls as of a specific date, which uSonar obtained in March 2025. Following this, the company worked to obtain "Type2" certification, which evaluates the operational effectiveness of internal controls over a specific period.
Background and Customer Benefits of Obtaining SOC2 Type2 Certification
uSonar provides various services, including the corporate strategy platform PLANSonar and the corporate information & business card management application mSonar, which have been adopted by over 1,100 companies, primarily large enterprises.
Financial institutions and globally expanding companies, which are increasingly adopting our services, are demanding higher security standards for cloud services.
Therefore, in addition to the ISMS certification we have already obtained, we have decided to acquire the internationally recognized SOC2 Type2 certification.
By obtaining SOC2 Type2, we provide:
- Reduction of Implementation Review Man-hours: Streamlining the verification process by utilizing this report for IT governance and security reviews on the customer side.
- Proven Operational Track Record: Minimizing the risk of data entrustment through proof of actual operations that have cleared rigorous audits.
We provide these benefits.
