DECEMBER 13, 2024 – College Aid Services proudly announces that it has successfully renewed its SOC 2® Type 2 certification. This certification is a crucial industry standard that evaluates an organization’s ability to safeguard client data and maintain the integrity of its systems. As a leader in higher education consulting, this annual recertification process demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest privacy and security standards when handling client data.
Initially receiving the certification in November 2022, College Aid Services undergoes an annual audit to ensure that its systems and policies continue to meet the rigorous guidelines set forth by the SOC 2® Type 2 framework. Thoropass (formerly Laika), an independent and trusted auditor, conducted the comprehensive audit of the company’s systems and policies over an observation period from November 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024, with the final audit report completed on December 12, 2024.
Higher education institutions and organizations seeking assurance of College Aid Services’ commitment to data security can request a copy of the SOC 2® Type 2 report by contacting info@collegeaidservices.net.
Dr. Raymond Nault Jr., President & CEO of College Aid Services, responded to this news, reiterating, “At College Aid Services, we understand that our ability to uphold the highest levels of data security is a fundamental part of maintaining the trust that our clients place in us. The SOC 2® Type 2 certification process is one of the many ways we demonstrate our dedication to the continued success of our partners.”
