Validates security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy
End to end encryption and comprehensive audit trails
Zero-trust architecture with defense in depth
Available for client security assessments
We're pleased to announce that altHQ has successfully completed our SOC 2 Type II certification, further strengthening our position as the trusted AI platform for institutional investors managing private market portfolios.
This certification validates what our clients already know: protecting sensitive investment data isn't just a feature at altHQ — it's foundational to what we build and how we build it.
What SOC 2 Type II Means for Our Clients
SOC 2 Type II certification is the gold standard for security compliance in financial technology. Unlike Type I certification (which is a point-in-time assessment), Type II involves continuous monitoring to ensure:
Security: Protection of client data against unauthorized access
Availability: Guaranteed uptime and reliable access to your portfolio data
Confidentiality: Strict controls over sensitive investment information
For institutional investors, family offices, and allocators, this certification provides independent validation that altHQ meets the strictest security standards required for managing alternative investments.
Why This Matters in Private Markets
Private market data is uniquely sensitive. From LP agreements to portfolio company financials, the information flowing through our platform represents billions in assets and countless confidential relationships.
Our SOC 2 Type II certification ensures:
End-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest
Comprehensive audit trails for data access and changes made
Strict access controls with role-based permissions
Penetration testing by a CREST-accredited security audit firm
24/7 monitoring of all system activities
Incident response procedures that exceed industry standards
Beyond Compliance: Security as a Competitive Advantage
While compliance certifications are important checkboxes for vendor assessments, our approach to security goes deeper. We've built our platform with a security-first architecture that assumes zero trust and implements defense in depth.
This means:
Your data is isolated in encrypted environments
AI models never train on client data
Multi-factor authentication is mandatory
Regular security training for all employees
Continuous vulnerability scanning and patching
