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
