Speckle Gets SOC 2 Type 2 Attested: Taking AEC Data Security to The Next Level

This isn’t just a checkbox; it’s solid proof that your data stays safe wherever and however you use Speckle.

Here’s why this matters (and why you should be as excited as we are).

Open-Source Beginnings And Enterprise Security

Speckle started as an open-source platform designed to simplify data collaboration in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). But as we grew, so did our users’ needs. Teams wanted enterprise-grade features to handle their most sensitive data—and we delivered. High five!

Enter Speckle Workspaces, the code name for working in Speckle in teams. It’s our enterprise-ready solution packed with features like:

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Easy setup, zero headaches.
• Data Residency: Host your data where you need it—US, EU, UK, Australia, and beyond.
• Domain-Based Security: Automatically unite your team with verified email domains.
• Role Management: Control who sees what with powerful admin tools.

This is now backed by our SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, so you know it’s built on a rock-solid foundation.

What Even Is SOC 2 (and Why Should You Care)?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) is the gold standard for data security. It evaluates how well a company safeguards customer data across five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

• SOC 2 Type 1 Attestation Badge: Think of this as a snapshot—proof that Speckle had the right controls in place at a specific moment in time. It’s a solid milestone, especially for organisations just starting out or setting up their security foundations. We earned this badge a while back!
• SOC 2 Type 2 Attestation Badge: Now, this is the big one. It covers a stretch of time and shows that Speckle’s controls weren’t just implemented—they worked effectively the whole time. It’s a deeper dive into our security chops, showcasing our maturity and commitment.

In short, SOC 2 Type 2 means business. It’s not just "we have controls in place"; it’s "we’ve been actively protecting your data, and here’s the proof."

Why This Matters for You

Let’s be real: In AEC, trust is everything. Projects involve sensitive designs, critical data, and big-dollar contracts. SOC 2 Type 2 certification tells you that Speckle isn’t just secure—it’s a safe bet for your company.

Here’s what this milestone means for you:

• Confidence: Your data is protected, period.
• Compliance: Meet client and regulatory requirements without breaking a sweat.
• Peace of Mind: Risk and security teams will love this (and you’ll love not dealing with their questions).

What’s Next? Everything!

SOC 2 Type 2 is just the start for us. We’re constantly innovating to make Speckle the ultimate platform for AEC professionals to work together smoothly and deliver projects faster and better.
