Sona is now SOC 2 Type 2 Compliant

We’re proud to share an important milestone: Sona is officially SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

This achievement reflects our continued commitment to protecting patient data, upholding the highest standards of security, and ensuring that every provider and family who uses Sona can do so with complete confidence.

As we continue to modernize how ultrasound images are shared and stored, this certification reinforces our promise—to build technology that’s not only innovative, but trustworthy.

What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a comprehensive security framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It establishes rigorous standards for managing customer data based on five key “trust service principles”:

  • Security: Protecting systems and data from unauthorized access or breaches through controls like encryption, authentication, and monitoring.
  • Availability: Ensuring systems are reliable, resilient, and accessible when needed.
  • Processing Integrity: Maintaining accurate, complete, and timely data processing across our platform.
  • Confidentiality: Restricting access to sensitive information and ensuring it remains protected throughout its lifecycle.
  • Privacy: Safeguarding personal data and clearly communicating how it’s collected, used, and shared.

While a SOC 2 Type 1 report assesses the design of a company’s security controls at a specific point in time, SOC 2 Type 2 goes further, evaluating how those controls perform over an extended period (typically 6–12 months). That means our systems and processes didn’t just meet standards once; they consistently met them over time.

Why SOC 2 Type 2 Matters

Healthcare organizations face some of the toughest data protection challenges in the world. From ransomware attacks to accidental data exposure, breaches can jeopardize both business operations and patient trust.

At Sona, we handle sensitive healthcare data every day with images, patient identifiers, and protected health information (PHI). SOC 2 Type 2 certification demonstrates that we’ve implemented and maintained controls designed to prevent unauthorized access, detect vulnerabilities early, and respond swiftly to potential threats.

This is not just about compliance, but about peace of mind for providers, sonographers, and families.

What This Means for Our Partners and Users

For our healthcare partners, this certification reaffirms that Sona’s infrastructure and operations meet the industry’s most rigorous standards for security, reliability, and privacy.

For our users, expectant parents, families, and loved ones, it means every ultrasound image shared through Sona is protected by enterprise-grade security from the moment it leaves the ultrasound machine to the moment it reaches your phone.

This milestone aligns with our larger mission: to make the ultrasound experience safe, seamless, and emotionally connected without compromising trust.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Earning SOC 2 Type 2 certification is not the finish line, but a foundation we’ll continue to build on. Sona will maintain continuous monitoring, re-audits, and ongoing security improvements to stay ahead of emerging threats and evolving standards.

Data security and privacy are not just checkboxes for us, but are central to how we design, build, and deliver every part of our platform.
