Embed Security Reinforces Its Commitment to SOC 2 Type II Compliance
Embed Security has successfully completed its annual SOC 2 Type II examination. The audit was conducted by Advantage Partners, an independent certified public accounting firm, and covers the Trust Services Criteria for Security and Confidentiality. The renewed report confirms that our security controls continued to operate effectively across the full audit period, not just on the day of a review.
What a SOC 2 Type II renewal means
SOC 2 Type II is the more demanding version of the SOC 2 framework. A Type I report evaluates controls at a single point in time. A Type II examination tests whether those controls actually operated effectively over an extended audit window.
Each annual examination raises the bar. It means an independent auditor re-examined our controls over a new audit period and confirmed they still work. Security is not a milestone you hit once. It is a discipline you maintain — and prove — every year.
What the audit covered
The examination covered Embed Security’s AI SOC platform, including the infrastructure, applications, and operational processes that support autonomous alert investigation and security response. Advantage Partners validated controls related to encryption, access management, vulnerability management, incident response, and data confidentiality.
Why this matters for our customers
- Faster procurement. A current SOC 2 Type II report answers most vendor security questionnaires before they are asked. Your security and legal teams get independent evidence without a months-long review.
- Shorter sales cycles. Compliance review is often the slowest step between “we want this” and “it’s deployed.” A renewed report removes that friction.
- Continuous assurance. This is not a one-time stamp. Annual renewal means our controls are independently re-tested every year, for as long as you are a customer.
- A trust signal that matches what we do. Our platform autonomously investigates security alerts on your behalf. Customers who trust us with that work deserve proof that we hold ourselves to the standards we help them enforce.
From our CEO
“We believe trust is something you earn through consistent execution, not something you claim. Renewing our SOC 2 Type II compliance reflects the systems, processes, and discipline our team follows every day so customers can have confidence in how we protect their data.”
— Seth Summersett, CEO and Co-founder, Embed Security

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Here, we cover why the current approaches to security automation (SOAR playbooks and unconstrained LLM agents) fall short of what investigation actually demands. In Part 2, we go under the hood of iSteps to show how they deliver the reliability and transparency that neither playbooks nor raw LLMs can.
