Aragon.ai is Now SOC 2® Type II Compliant [2026 Update]

Originally published: September 11, 2025 | Last updated: April 2026

We are excited to announce that Aragon.ai has officially achieved SOC 2® Type II compliance. This certification, awarded by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is a widely recognized industry standard for security and operational trust. It confirms that our systems, processes, and policies meet rigorous requirements for protecting data and operating with excellence.

What SOC 2® Type II Means

So what does this even mean? SOC 2® Type II compliance isn't something that can be achieved overnight. It is a months-long review where independent auditors evaluate how we actually operate — not just what we claim on paper. The result is proof that Aragon consistently protects your photos and data with independently verified security controls.

Security at the Core of Aragon

From day one, Aragon has been built with security-first principles. Our audit confirmed that we:

• Encrypt all data in transit — Photos, uploads, and outputs are protected in accordance with our verified security policies, backed by secure infrastructure.
• Use strict access controls with least-privilege permissions — Only authorized team members have access, and even then, only to the data they need to perform their role.
• Maintain reliable uptime and continuity plans — Our infrastructure is designed for resilience, with continuity plans in place to minimize disruption during unexpected events.
• Continuously monitor systems and respond rapidly to incidents — We track system activity in real time and have clear procedures to act quickly if unusual behavior is detected.
• Evaluate and manage third-party vendors — Any partners or tools we work with are reviewed against our security requirements as part of our vendor management program.

FAQs

What is SOC 2® Type II compliance?

SOC 2® Type II is an industry-standard security certification from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Unlike Type I (which evaluates controls at a single point in time), Type II involves a months-long audit of how a company actually operates its security controls over time.

Is Aragon AI safe to use?

Yes. Aragon.ai has achieved SOC 2® Type II compliance, meaning our security controls have been independently verified by third-party auditors. We encrypt all data in transit, use strict access controls, and continuously monitor our systems.

How does Aragon protect my photos?

Your photos are encrypted in transit and protected by strict access controls. We follow least-privilege permissions, meaning only authorized team members can access data — and only what they need for their specific role. Photos are processed securely and managed according to our privacy policies.

Can I get a SOC 2® report for my company’s vendor review?

Yes. Enterprise customers can request Aragon's SOC 2® Type II report as part of their vendor review process. Contact sales@aragon.ai for more information.
