ProjectBalm, makers of Risk Register, today announced it has achieved SOC 2 compliance, marking a significant milestone in its mission to "take the sting out of risk management." Founded in 2015 and based in Sydney, ProjectBalm has quickly become a Platinum Atlassian Marketplace partner, empowering teams with "tools that simply work."
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an internationally recognised audit standard—based on Trust Services Criteria defined by the AICPA—covering essential areas such as security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The third-party assessment confirmed that ProjectBalm’s systems, processes, and controls are not only well-designed but actively operated and effective.
Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters
-
Customer Confidence: Clients demand assurance that their data is managed under rigorous, audited operational controls. SOC 2 provides that assurance.
-
Enterprise Ready: Many large organizations—especially in fintech, healthcare, and regulated industries—require SOC 2 compliance of their vendors. ProjectBalm’s certification opens doors to more enterprise opportunities.
-
Strengthened Security Posture: The audit process prompted improvements across technical controls, documentation, and continuous monitoring—heightening overall resilience.
-
Market Differentiation: As the Risk Register app becomes increasingly popular, SOC 2 status further cements ProjectBalm’s reputation as a secure and trusted provider.
Craig Schwarze, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at ProjectBalm, said:
“Earning SOC 2 compliance demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering not just an elegant and effective risk management solution, but one that meets the highest standards of trust, security, and operational excellence. This empowers our customers — from Agile teams to enterprise risk professionals — to adopt our tool with full confidence.”
