DALLAS – Dec. 16, 2019 – M-Files Corporation, the intelligent information management company, today announced that the company has achieved SOC 2 Compliance based on the Trust Services Criteria developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).

To achieve this certification, M-Files underwent an extensive review of its processes and workflows to demonstrate adherence to strict information policies and procedures encompassing the security, availability and confidentiality of customer data.

For example, M-Files procedures for monitoring unusual system activity, authorized and unauthorized system configuration changes, and user access levels are put in place to demonstrate how the company's security measures meet today's cloud requirements.  

"M-Files solutions are built on trust and we take that trust very seriously. Our dedication and determination to protect customer data helps us form the building blocks of trustful, long-lasting customer relationships," said Nivala.
