Plaud.ai is now SOC 2 Type II certified: here’s what that actually means

SOC 2 Type II is a third-party audit framework created by the AICPA that looks at how well a company protects customer data in practice over a period of time. It’s not just about policies—it’s about proving that those policies actually work.

We’ve got big news: Plaud.ai is officially SOC 2 Type II certified. That means our products and all the services behind—meets one of the most respected industry standards for data security and operational integrity.

What’s SOC 2, and Why should you care?

If you’re trusting a tool with sensitive conversations—like client meetings, patient notes, or internal strategy calls— you need to know your data is safe.

SOC 2 Type II is a third-party audit framework created by the AICPA that looks at how well a company protects customer data in practice over a period of time. It’s not just about policies—it’s about proving that those policies actually work.

SOC 2 audits focus on five key areas:

  • Security – Are systems protected against unauthorized access?
  • Availability – Can users rely on the system being up and running?
  • Processing Integrity – Does the system do what it says it will?
  • Confidentiality – Is sensitive data kept private?
  • Privacy – Are personal details handled responsibly?

Why this matters if you’re using Plaud

Let’s be real: tools that record your meetings and generate summaries are only useful if you trust them. Plaud isn’t just about convenience—it’s about secure productivity .

With SOC 2 in place, here’s what you’re getting:

  • Secure cloud sync with manual control over uploads
  • Optional deletion of recordings right from your device
  • Clear visibility into how your data is stored and processed
  • A verified framework that meets enterprise and legal compliance requirements

And for folks in healthcare, legal, finance, or education, this certification makes integrating Plaud into your official tech stack much easier.

 

So… What Does This Change?

If you’re already a Plaud user—nothing changes in how you use the product. But behind the scenes, it means our security practices, infrastructure, and internal processes have passed a rigorous audit.
And if you’re in procurement or security review mode, you now have public documentation to share internally : https://app.drata.com/trust/8e587267-54ce-43cf-b52a-b71caf88c333
