At 3 Story Software, we are dedicated to streamlining the way companies globally hire and manage their contingent workforce, ensuring efficiency, security, and compliance at every step. Today, we are excited to announce that we have successfully completed our System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2® Type II Audit for the period June 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, conducted by A-LIGN.

"Our clients and partners can trust that we are meeting the highest standards for security and compliance," says Joseph Marsh, Managing Director of 3SS. "Undergoing a SOC2 Type II audit annually reflects our ongoing dedication to ensuring that our systems and processes remain secure, available, and confidential."

This year, the audit confirmed the effectiveness of our robust privacy practices, particularly the encryption of data both at rest and in transit, using advanced technologies like AES 256 encryption for all critical backups, ensuring that sensitive customer information is fully protected.

Jay Gojuk, Director of Infrastructure and Security, added: “While we’ve always aligned our practices with top security frameworks like CISA and PCI, we are thrilled to now offer both ISO 27001 certifications and a SOC 2 Type II report. This affirms that our controls are not only designed effectively but also operate with excellence throughout each year.”

The SOC 2 audit, conducted by A-LIGN, affirmed that 3 Story Software’s controls meet the stringent standards for security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy. As companies increasingly depend on external vendors to manage critical business processes, 3SS remains dedicated to maintaining trust and transparency.

In its latest development release, 3 Story Software LLC (3SS), a comprehensive and contingent workforce management system, reinforced its commitment to support its clients in building more diverse candidate and worker populations by updating its Diversity, Equity & Inclusion features.

3SS has 165 clients globally and strives to develop features that provide its clients with relevant data to build diverse and inclusive workplaces. The upgraded Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) functionality features a new candidate survey that captures DE&I data further upstream in the hiring process. It also changed how this data is collected to optimize submissions so clients may collect more meaningful data from their candidates and workers.

Now with 3SS, clients can see data related to the diversity of candidate pools during the recruitment process, in addition to their active worker populations. Comparing these two data sets is imperative for clients to understand their company’s hiring preferences, and who engages with a company’s services and customers.

3SS ensures that candidates and workers can opt out of providing DE&I information at any point in the hiring and onboarding process and that this data is confidential and stored securely. Data that 3SS collects on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is anonymized such that candidate or worker information is separate from the data used for statistical reporting.

3SS is continuously learning from its clients so it may optimize how companies hire and manage their non-employee workers across the globe. Most 3SS features are thus developed with input from its clients globally, with updates and new features being released every 5 weeks.

3 Story Software LLC (3SS), a company committed to simplifying how companies hire and manage their non-employee workers across the globe, announced today that it has successfully completed their System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2® Type II Audit examination for their vendor and extended workforce management platform.

"We are incredibly proud of achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance certification," says Joseph Marsh, Senior Vice President of 3SS. “Our partners can feel confident that we are making every investment to establish and maintain the highest level of security and compliance in the industry.”

The company completed its Type I Certification in the fall of last year, and Type II in April of this year. "While our internal processes have always been modeled after some of the best security frameworks and guidelines in the industry such as CISA, CIS, and PCI, we were excited to work with an outstanding CPA firm to achieve official certification for SOC 2 Type 1, SOC2 Type 2, and ISO 27001 ", Jay Gojuk, Director of Technology.

As companies increasingly use external vendors to perform activities that are core to their business operations and strategy, there is a need for more trust and transparency in cloud service providers’ operations, processes, and results.

3 Story Software's audit was conducted by Assure Professional - a trusted innovative provider of audit and accounting services for many different organizations in various industries. The audit affirms that the company's information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security, availability, and confidentiality.
