Laravel Nightwatch has completed its SOC 2 Type 1 audit, validating that the necessary controls are in place at a point in time to meet the relevant trust criteria.
SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is a crucial step on our way to SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which we aim to achieve by the end of December. If you’re a Nightwatch customer, you can request SOC 2 reports through our trust portal.
What Is SOC 2 Type 1?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a security standard defined by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) that evaluates how organizations manage data based on five “trust service” criteria: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy.
The Type 1 audit assesses whether controls are appropriately designed and in place at a specific point in time. Passing a SOC 2 Type 1 audit means that an independent auditor has reviewed Nightwatch’s controls and verified that they are suitably constructed to meet the applicable trust service criteria.
What SOC 2 Means for You
The SOC 2 Type 1 certification for Nightwatch gives you stronger assurances about how we handle your sensitive monitoring and logging data:
- Security: Nightwatch has controls in place to prevent unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure of data.
- Confidentiality: Sensitive application-level details collected in logs or metrics are properly protected under strict confidentiality controls.
- Availability: We maintain systems and processes to ensure Nightwatch remains reliably available to monitor and alert when needed.
- Operational confidence: You can trust that Nightwatch was audited and validated at a moment in time, giving you evidence of our security posture.
For teams operating in regulated industries or customers with strict compliance requirements, SOC 2 Type 1 certification confirms that Nightwatch can be safely used within your security framework.
Why Laravel Pursues Compliance
As we build tools that scale into enterprise environments, compliance and strict security standards have become essential. This commitment is driven by customer demand, the need for long-term reliability, and our dedication to transparency.
Laravel Cloud has already achieved SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certifications. We are also extending compliance efforts across the team, working to bring Laravel Forge into alignment with the same rigorous standards by the end of November.
As we continue to pursue SOC 2 Type 2 certifications for Nightwatch and Forge, we are also targeting ISO 27001 and HIPAA compliance to support industries with stringent data protection needs.
