Chimney Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance

November 21, 2025

At Chimney, earning the trust of our customers is foundational to everything we build. Today, we're proud to announce an important milestone in that commitment: Chimney has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit.

This achievement reflects our dedication to the highest standards of security, availability, and operational integrity. SOC 2 Type II compliance is more than an industry benchmark - it’s a rigorous evaluation that verifies our controls are not only in place but consistently operating effectively over time. For financial institutions and technology partners relying on Chimney, this assurance matters.

What is SOC 2 Type II?

SOC 2 Type II is one of the most respected security standards in the SaaS industry. Unlike a point-in-time certification, it involves a comprehensive, multi-month audit that examines whether an organization’s security controls actually function in practice. The evaluation covers a wide range of controls - data encryption, access management, monitoring, incident response, employee training, and more. It ensures that every layer of our operational foundation is as secure and resilient as the institutions we support.

Why does SOC 2 Type II matter?

Financial institutions operate under increasing scrutiny when it comes to data security, risk management, and vendor oversight. As banks, credit unions, and fintech partners expand their digital ecosystems, vendor due diligence has become a critical part of ensuring trust and safety.

With SOC 2 Type II compliance, Chimney provides:

  • Verified security practices that protect sensitive financial data
  • Documented and audited controls for risk management, monitoring, and incident response
  • Reliable system availability to support mission-critical digital experiences
  • Stronger vendor assurance for compliance, audits, and internal governance

For our partners, this means less friction during procurement, faster compliance reviews, and more confidence in the solutions they deploy.

How did we achieve this milestone?

Achieving SOC 2 Type II is a company-wide effort. It requires collaboration across engineering, product, security, operations, and leadership - along with months of evidence gathering, third-party verification, and process improvement.

This milestone reflects:

  • A culture committed to security from day one
  • Investments in infrastructure, monitoring, and secure development practices
  • A proactive approach to compliance and risk mitigation

We’re proud of the work that went into earning this certification, but even more proud of the discipline it represents in our daily operations.

Our commitment moving forward

Security and trust aren’t one-time achievements, they’re ongoing commitments. SOC 2 Type II is an important step in a broader roadmap that includes continuous monitoring, regular audits, and ongoing enhancements to our risk and security posture.

As Chimney continues to grow and support more financial institutions, we remain focused on building secure, reliable, and innovative products that help our partners deliver valuable digital experiences.

Thank you!

This accomplishment wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of the entire Chimney team and the customers who trust us with their most important relationships. We’re excited for what’s ahead, and proud to have reached this milestone together. 💙
