Law firm clients require the best in data security, availability and confidentiality. Addressing these critical needs, leading global business management software provider Aderant^® has announced its successful completion of SOC 2^® Type 2 audits for both its Expert Sierra and vi by Aderant SaaS platforms. Zero exceptions were noted in the audit reports.

Both Expert Sierra and vi platforms were examined by top independent CPA and IT compliance attestation firm Schellman & Company, LLC based on the selected categories of Security, Availability, and Confidentiality. Schellman & Company, LLC is the only Top 50 CPA firm to specialize in IT Audit and Cybersecurity. The review period evaluated was from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

“Our clients’ trust is paramount, and this milestone is a testament to Aderant’s dedicated efforts in implementing and maintaining robust controls to ensure data security and privacy,” remarked Jessica Mifflin, Aderant’s Senior Director of Cybersecurity, Governance & Privacy. “SOC 2 evaluations must be conducted on a regular basis to ensure our organization consistently performs optimally in important information security and privacy areas. Our clients can know with confidence there are comprehensive reviews of Aderant’s systems and processes, and that our solutions are secure and adhere to the industry’s best practices.”

SOC 2 is also known as a “Report on Controls at a Service Organization Relevant to Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, or Privacy.” Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected.

SOC 2 reports are recognized globally, and they affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures, and operations have been formally reviewed. According to Schellman & Company, LLC, “SOC 2 Type 2 reports opine on management’s description of a service organization’s system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of controls.”
