Security isn’t a buzzword at Interplay. It’s a commitment we live out every day in how we design systems, respond to incidents, and support our clients.
That’s why we’re proud to share a major milestone: Interplay has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II certification – a rigorous, independent audit that validates not just how our security controls are designed, but how they actually operate over time.
This certification reinforces what our clients already know: Interplay is deeply serious about security, accountability, and doing IT the right way.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) is an industry-standard framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how organizations protect customer data across five Trust Services Criteria:
A Type II audit goes a step further than Type I. Instead of reviewing controls at a single point in time, it examines how those controls perform consistently over an extended period.
In plain English: it proves that strong security practices aren’t just documented – they’re actually followed, day in and day out.
While SOC 2 Type II certification is common among large SaaS companies and financial institutions, it’s exceptionally rare among managed service providers, especially those focused on hands-on, local IT support.
Why? Because it’s hard.
The process requires deep operational maturity, rigorous documentation, and the discipline to maintain high standards across every aspect of service delivery—not just security tooling, but people, processes, and accountability.
Interplay pursued this certification intentionally, knowing it would raise the bar internally and provide meaningful reassurance to our clients.
Many of the organizations we serve – nonprofits, professional services firms, healthcare providers, and growing businesses – face increasing pressure around data protection, compliance, and third-party risk.
SOC 2 Type II certification helps our clients:
For some clients, this certification isn’t just nice to have – it’s essential.
What makes this achievement especially meaningful is that Interplay remains a hands-on, never-offshored, locally based MSP. Our engineers are real people, working directly with clients, responding quickly, and taking ownership of outcomes.
SOC 2 Type II doesn’t change how we work – it validates it.
It confirms that our fast response times, proactive security posture, transparent processes, and commitment to doing the right thing are backed by independently verified controls.
As part of our commitment to openness, we make detailed information about our security posture available to clients and partners.
