Why Security Accolades
Matter for Assessment
Software
With over 2200 cyberattacks happening worldwide every day, or one every 39 seconds, it's safe to say that statements about security aren't just phrases we can put on a webpage. Security standards are about setting the bar, and that's where accreditations come into play. Accreditations are pivotal in keeping your data safe and secure at all times.
By putting best practices and the principles of our accreditations into action, we mitigate risks and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements. This can come at the cost of developing new features, but strict adherence to cyber security requirements keeps your data safe, so you never need to worry. To us, that's more important.
The core of our commitment to cyber security isn't just obtaining these flashy accreditations but actually integrating the principles they represent.
Having a badge is all well and good, but it does very little if you don't practice what you preach. This article will explore how our security accreditations, particularly our SOC-2 certification, bolster our promise of constant risk management to maintain the quality you've come to expect of us.
Our Accreditations
In keeping with our enterprise standard focus, Brilliant Assessments has been independently audited and has been ISAE 3402 Service Organization Control certified since 2018. We now hold the Type II certification (SOC-2), their highest level.
Type II certification is only awarded after intense auditing that we not only have the highest-quality processes in place but also follow those processes to the letter every single day, without exception.
Our continued disciplined approach to SOC-2 compliance fortifies Brilliant Assessments against cyber threats and demonstrates our serious commitment to data protection.
Security over
Flashy Features
We’ve consciously decided to always focus on maximum security and risk mitigation across our software. Adherence to SOC-2 standards sometimes limits our adoption of certain functionalities, like CSS uploads and iFrames that our competitors loudly tout as advantages of their product. These functionalities are known security threats. While that means Brilliant Assessments will never have certain features, it's a small price to pay for more resilient security systems.
Impact of Security on
Selling Assessments
and Partner Strategy
The importance of security in selling assessment solutions varies from client to client. It's often a sticking point for any enterprise or established organizations. As you'll be handling and storing personal and company data off-site, corporations will likely ask you to disclose which systems manage personal data. The outcome? You could lose the deal if the system doesn't comply with their security grade.
Luckily, SOC-2 Type II certification is the highest accreditation any software company can achieve and demonstrates an ongoing commitment to cybersecurity. When you use Brilliant Assessments, your partners can feel confident knowing their data is being stored safely and handled with the utmost care every hour of every day.

Security is important to us and means more than just a shiny badge we can show off. It's how we keep your data secure, how we manage our own systems, and how we prevent cyberattacks from happening.
