Booost Achieves SOC 2 Type I Certification to Enhance SaaS Trust

Booost Secures SOC 2 Type I Certification for Their Sustainability Solution

Booost, Inc., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is proud to announce that it has secured the SOC 2 Type I certification for its product, booost Sustainability. This step further validates its commitment to providing robust and secure sustainability solutions to aid businesses in their sustainability transformation (SX). Having established itself as the market leader in providing sustainability ERP solutions, Booost recognizes the urgent need for transparency and reliability in cloud service usage, particularly among corporations.

The Importance of SOC 2 Certification

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) represents a framework established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It serves to ensure that service providers effectively design and operate their information management processes based on established criteria. With businesses increasingly dependent on cloud services, ensuring secure management practices through external audits has become a fundamental benchmark when selecting services. The SOC 2 Type I certification confirms that booost Sustainability operates in accordance with the trust service principle of Security as evaluated by a third-party organization.

Booost’s achievement of SOC 2 Type I certification demonstrates that the infrastructure and operations supporting the booost Sustainability platform meet high-security standards. As part of the certification, it was confirmed that Booost maintains proper internal controls and processes related to information security.
