Chicago, September 16, 2025 - BigHand, a leading provider of operational and financial products for law firms, is proud to announce it has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation, a critical milestone in its ongoing commitment to robust data security, privacy, and operational integrity. 

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) Type 2 certification is awarded to companies that demonstrate and maintain the highest levels of security controls over an extended period. The process involves a rigorous independent audit of internal systems, controls, and procedures across five key areas: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. 

To attain SOC 2 Type 2 status, BigHand underwent a comprehensive evaluation of its systems and protocols over several months, ensuring that the necessary controls are not only in place but operating effectively and consistently. 

Sam Toulson, CEO of BigHand, commented: 

"Earning SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation is a major achievement for BigHand and a clear signal to our clients that we are serious about data protection, resilience, and operational excellence. In an industry where confidentiality and compliance are paramount, this certification gives our clients the confidence that their data is secure and handled with the utmost care." 

As more clients move their BigHand technology to the cloud, this accreditation provides vital reassurance that their data is hosted within an environment that meets the highest standards for information security and operational performance. Whether firms are adopting cloud-based workflow, financial productivity tools, or resource management solutions, they can trust that BigHand’s platforms are designed with both functionality and security at their core. 

SOC 2 Type 2 now joins BigHand’s growing list of globally recognised accreditations, including ISO 27001 for Information Security Management and ISO 27701 for Privacy Information Management. Together, these certifications reflect BigHand’s ongoing investment in its infrastructure, people, and processes to support long-term client success.
