Plaud.ai Is now SOC 2 Type II certified: here’s what that actually means

SOC 2 Type II is an independent audit framework established by the AICPA, which assesses how effectively a company safeguards customer data in practice over a sustained period. It’s not merely about having policies in place—it’s about demonstrating that those policies are genuinely effective.

Exciting update: Plaud.ai is now SOC 2 Type II certified

This means our platform—Plaud Note, Plaud NotePin, and all supporting services—meets one of the most prestigious industry standards for data security and operational reliability.

What is SOC 2, and why should it matter to you?

If you’re trusting a tool with sensitive conversations—like client meetings, patient notes, or internal strategy calls— you need to know your data is safe.

Developed by the AICPA, it evaluates how effectively a company protects customer data in real-world conditions. It’s not about what’s written on paper—it’s about consistent, verifiable practice.

The audit focuses on five key principles:

  • Security – Are systems safeguarded against unauthorised access?
  • Availability – Is the platform reliably accessible?
  • Processing integrity – Does everything work as intended?
  • Confidentiality – Is sensitive information handled properly?
  • Privacy – Are individuals’ personal data managed responsibly?

Why this matters if you’re using Plaud

Let’s be real: tools that record your meetings and generate summaries are only useful if you trust them. Plaud isn’t just about convenience—it’s about secure productivity.

With SOC 2 in place, you benefit from:

  • ✅ Secure cloud syncing with manual control
  • ✅ Option to delete files directly from your device
  • ✅ Full transparency on how your data is stored and used
  • ✅ Enterprise-ready, legally compliant framework

For those working in healthcare, law, finance, or academia, this certification makes incorporating Plaud into your daily workflow even easier.


So… What does this change?

If you’re already a Plaud user, nothing changes in how you use the product. But behind the scenes, it means our security practices, infrastructure, and internal processes have passed a rigorous audit.

And if you’re in procurement or security review mode, you now have public documentation to share internally: https://app.drata.com/trust/8e587267-54ce-43cf-b52a-b71caf88c333
