Security & Compliance at Sonar
Built for ISPs. Proven in Real Operations. Independently Validated.
Internet service providers trust Sonar to run the systems behind their business, billing, provisioning, customer management, reporting, and operations that must work every day, without fail.
Security isn’t a feature at Sonar. It’s embedded into how we design, operate, and scale the platform so ISPs can grow confidently, protect customer trust, and meet increasing compliance expectations.
Security You Don’t Have to Guess About
As ISPs scale networks, take on public funding, or prepare for audits and vendor reviews, confidence in your technology partners matters more than ever.
That’s why Sonar has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit and received an unqualified opinion from an independent third-party auditor.
This isn’t a promise.
It’s proof.
SOC 2 Type 2: Independent Validation Over Time
SOC 2 Type 2 evaluates whether a company’s security controls are:
- Designed appropriately
- Consistently followed
- Operating effectively in day-to-day reality — not just on paper
Sonar’s SOC 2 Type 2 assessment confirms that our security controls were operating as intended throughout the review period, across real operational workflows.
What was evaluated:
- Protection against unauthorized access
- Secure system operations
- Operational discipline across teams and processes
What this means:
ISPs don’t have to rely on self-attestation or marketing claims. You get independent assurance that Sonar’s security practices are real, repeatable, and enforced as the business runs and scales.
What This Means for ISPs
Faster, Easier Vendor Reviews
Security questionnaires and procurement reviews slow down deals. A SOC 2 Type 2 report provides widely recognized third-party validation — reducing custom explanations and accelerating approvals.
Support for Grants, Municipal Partners, and Public Funding
For ISPs pursuing BEAD or other public funding, compliance documentation matters. Sonar’s SOC 2 Type 2 report can be used in:
- Governance reviews
- Municipal or state evaluations
- Security and compliance validation tied to funding requirements
This helps operators move forward with confidence — not friction.
Confidence for Leadership and Boards
SOC 2 Type 2 reinforces that Sonar treats security as an ongoing operational responsibility, not a one-time audit. Controls are monitored, maintained, and enforced as the platform evolves.
Security Embedded in Daily Operations
Achieving and maintaining SOC 2 Type 2 required Sonar to formalize and mature security practices across the organization — and those practices remain part of how we operate every day.
This includes:
- Access governance & least-privilege controls
- Continuous monitoring and alerting
- Documented incident response and escalation procedures
- Change management and operational oversight
- Ongoing evidence collection and internal accountability
These are not temporary audit artifacts.
They’re how Sonar runs.
Built for Scale. Designed for Trust.
As broadband operations grow more complex, technology partners must scale responsibly and without introducing unnecessary risk.
Sonar’s security program is designed to grow alongside our customers, supporting:
- Operational maturity
- Technical credibility
- Long-term trust with customers, partners, and regulators
SOC 2 Type 2 reflects the discipline behind Sonar’s approach: controls that are documented, tested, and consistently executed — not just planned.
A Continuous Commitment to Security
Security at Sonar is not static.
We maintain our SOC 2 posture through:
- Ongoing controls monitoring
- Regular internal reviews
- Annual SOC 2 Type 2 assessments
As threats evolve and the platform expands, security practices are continuously reviewed and improved — so protections remain effective over time.
Customers trust Sonar with systems that support essential service delivery.
We take that responsibility seriously and back it with independent validation and transparent operations.

SOC 2 Type 2 – Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 is a widely recognized framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how service organizations protect systems and data using defined Trust Services Criteria, such as security.
-
What does “SOC 2 Type 2” mean?
SOC 2 Type 2 assesses whether security controls are not only designed appropriately, but operating effectively over time — based on real-world execution, not a single point in time.
-
Is SOC 2 a certification?
No. SOC 2 is an independent attestation, not a certification. An auditor evaluates evidence and issues an opinion based on their findings.
-
What opinion did Sonar receive?
Sonar received an unqualified opinion, meaning the independent auditor found that Sonar’s controls met the SOC 2 Type 2 criteria throughout the review period.
-
Which Trust Services Criteria are included?
Sonar’s SOC 2 Type 2 report is aligned to the Security Trust Services Criteria.
-
Who conducted the audit?
The assessment was performed by Consilium Labs, an independent third-party audit firm.
-
How does SOC 2 Type 2 help during vendor reviews?
It provides independent validation of Sonar’s security controls, reducing reliance on self-attestation and shortening security questionnaires and procurement cycles.
-
Does SOC 2 Type 2 guarantee zero security incidents?
No. It validates that controls are in place and consistently followed to reduce risk and respond effectively if incidents occur.
