Security & hosting

Built for the standards government holds you to.

Government CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs evaluate vendors on evidence, not adjectives. Here is how Advanced GRC protects your data — the attestations we hold, where your data lives, and the controls behind our SaaS platforms.

SOC 2 Type II. US data residency. 24×7 monitoring. Independent testing.

Our independent attestations

Verified by third parties — not just asserted.

These are Advanced GRC's own attestations, earned through independent assessment.

Held · SOC 2 Type II

SOC 2 Type II, unqualified

An independent CPA firm verified that our security controls were appropriately designed and operated effectively across the audit period, with no material exceptions. It is one of the strongest independent assurances a software organization can provide.

The full report is available to evaluating agencies under NDA.

Completed · FedRAMP 3PAO readiness

FedRAMP 3PAO readiness assessment

An accredited Third-Party Assessment Organization — the same type of assessor used in full FedRAMP audits — evaluated our environment against the FedRAMP security controls.

This is a readiness milestone. It is not a FedRAMP authorization, which is a separate, verifiable status.

Hosting & data residency

You know where your data lives.

Advanced GRC runs as SaaS on a hybrid cloud — Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — with the application environment owned and managed by AGRC.

US data residency

All data for our SaaS products resides in the United States. For customers outside the U.S., Azure and OCI regions let us keep data resident in the local jurisdiction where required.

Redundant by design

Hosted across Azure and OCI with geographic redundancy and cloud-native replication, so a single facility or region is never a single point of failure.

Isolation options

Customer data is logically isolated by default. Where a program requires stronger separation, dedicated single-tenant deployments are available.

A note on provider certifications: our infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, whose data centers maintain SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and PCI DSS attestations. These are the providers' facility-level certifications — distinct from Advanced GRC's own SOC 2 Type II above.
How we protect your data

The controls behind the platform.

Encryption

Data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS). Encryption keys are managed within the cloud platforms.

Identity & access

Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for all users. Role-based access control and SSO via Microsoft Entra ID, with periodic access reviews.

Monitoring & response

24×7×365 monitoring through a centralized SIEM and a managed security operations capability, with continuous event escalation.

Testing & assurance

Independent penetration testing annually by a certified third party, and vulnerability assessments performed quarterly.

Resilience & recovery

Backups every four hours with 15-day retention on geo-redundant storage. RPO of 4 hours, RTO under one business day. Disaster recovery tested in 2025.

Availability

A 99.9% availability target, excluding scheduled maintenance — backed by the redundant, tested architecture above.
