We are thrilled to announce that HiveMQ, the leading and most trusted MQTT platform provider, has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, covering all five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. This significant milestone underscores our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest data security and operational excellence standards for our valued customers.

What is SOC 2 Type II?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a rigorous auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates an organization’s ability to handle data securely, ensuring the protection of customer data. The SOC 2 Type II report assesses the design and implementation of controls and examines their operational effectiveness over a defined period.

Why is it Important for an MQTT Platform to be SOC 2 Type II Compliant?

For a service provider like HiveMQ, achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is not just a certification; it’s a testament to our dedication to maintaining an environment of trust and reliability. Here’s what it means for our customers:

  1. Security: Your data is protected against unauthorized logical access.

  2. Availability: Our services are reliable and accessible when needed, ensuring minimal downtime.

  3. Processing Integrity: Our systems ensure that your data is processed accurately and on time.

  4. Confidentiality: Sensitive information is safeguarded, ensuring it remains confidential and protected.

  5. Privacy: Your personal information is handled with the utmost care in compliance with privacy regulations.

For both current and potential customers, this achievement translates into peace of mind. With HiveMQ’s SOC 2 Type II Compliance you can be confident that your data is safe. We understand the critical importance of trust in today’s digital landscape, and this certification is a clear demonstration of our commitment to safeguarding your information.
