Secureframe Licenses Authorized Content from the AICPA on SOC Services


Risk Management of Third Parties’ Financial Controls and IT Security is Critical in Outsourced Service Era

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Secureframe, the leading provider of security and compliance automation software, today announced it has licensed content from the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) related to System and Organizational Controls (SOC) services, widely recognized engagements for examining and reporting on organizations’ system processes and controls. Organizations using outsourced solutions have become increasingly aware of risk management and the importance of IT security at such organizations.

Secureframe empowers businesses to build trust by helping them achieve and maintain compliance with global information security standards. Secureframe leverages automation and AI to simplify the manual processes that companies endure through compliance certification, allowing them to focus on growing their business. By integrating with customers’ technology infrastructure, Secureframe automatically collects audit evidence, continuously monitors security hygiene, trains their employees on security awareness, and streamlines the experience with their auditor. As a result of these offerings, Secureframe customers are able to accelerate time-to-compliance by 5x, reduce their operational costs of maintaining compliance, while improving their overall security and compliance posture.

SOC services, which were created by the AICPA, come in three categories, SOC 1®, SOC 2®, and SOC 3®. A SOC 2 report is considered by many to be the gold standard for third party risk management, evidenced by an almost 50 percent increase in demand for SOC 2® engagements in recent years. The SOC 2® report gives customers and business partners of outsourced solution providers information about whether those organizations have adequate systems and controls in place to protect critical business information. A SOC 2 examination can only be performed by an independent, licensed CPA firm against standards and criteria developed by the AICPA. The CPA’s opinion in the SOC 2 report enhances the confidence that users can place in that information.

The success of SOC 2® engagements has led some companies in this space to make misleading promises about the scope, time or fees involved. Licensees of authorized AICPA content in this area, on the other hand, agree to adhere to a higher standard in their marketing.

“Our mission at Secureframe has always been to empower our customers with an all-in-one automation platform paired with expert insights to help them streamline security and privacy compliance and grow their business,” said founder and CEO Shrav Mehta. “We have licensed content from the AICPA related to SOC services to ensure we are providing them with the best technology and resources.”

Durham University Implements CoolIT’s Direct Liquid Cooling Technology in the Cosmology Machine-8 Supercomputer


CoolIT Systems is the industry-leading provider of efficient Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) and Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx) that enable heat reuse and help customers meet key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets. CoolIT’s DLC technology is featured as a factory-installed, warranty-approved feature from most major servers OEMs.

From its early Direct Liquid Cooling investment in 2020 with 32 nodes Proof of Concept, the ICC at Durham University has progressively expanded its capabilities, currently boasting 10 racks of CoolIT’s DLC, which is essential for achieving the computational power and memory required for its cutting-edge cosmology simulations.

Dominik Dziarczykowski, CoolIT’s Global Channel Sales Manager, expressed, “Collaborating with Durham University and DiRAC on the COSMA-8 project exemplifies the efficiency, scalability, and transformative potential of Direct Liquid Cooling. Not only has it empowered Durham to achieve their ambitious computational objectives, but it’s also a great example of how Data Centers can be modernized to ensure the sustainable and energy-efficient trajectory for modern infrastructure globally.”

The key benefits of incorporating CoolIT’s DLC technology include the university’s ability to maintain cooling water at elevated temperatures, which many other systems cannot achieve. Without DLC, Durham would have faced challenges in achieving the same computational density. The COSMA-8 system uniquely integrates CoolIT’s DLC with the Rear Door Heat Exchanger system, creating a synergistic cooling solution that effectively manages and dissipates heat.

Dr. Alastair Basden, Head of the DiRAC Memory Intensive HPC Service at Durham University and co-chair of the DiRAC Technical Directorate, elaborated, “COSMA-8 is a testament to our dedication to unraveling the mysteries of our universe. From simulating the Big Bang to understanding the intricacies of black holes, this machine is a powerhouse. Its memory-intensive service, tailored for cosmology simulations, underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge.”

The substantial investment in COSMA-8, approximately 10 million pounds, was funded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) via the World Class Laboratories funding scheme, and the Digital Research Infrastructure funding scheme, administered by the Science and Technology Facilities Council. Notably, CoolIT collaborated with Dell on this project, delivering a comprehensive product portfolio including the CoolIT CHx750s and Rear Door Heat Exchangers.

The opening ceremony for the COSMA-8 Systems was graced by Chi Onwurah, MP for Newcastle upon Tyne Central and Shadow Minister for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, further underscoring the national significance of this project.
