NAPERVILLE, Ill. — July 2026 — Waident Technology Solutions, a SOC 2 managed service provider serving Chicago, Naperville, and businesses across the Midwest, has successfully completed its annual SOC 2 examination. The independent assessment reinforces Waident's commitment to delivering secure managed IT services, cybersecurity, and reliable technology support that organizations can trust.
Unlike many certifications that are earned once, SOC 2 requires organizations to continuously demonstrate that their security controls, policies, and processes are operating effectively. The independent examination validates that Waident continues to meet rigorous standards for safeguarding customer information and delivering dependable IT services.
"As cybersecurity threats and bad actors continue to evolve, businesses need more than promises, they need proof that their service providers are protecting them to the highest standards. Waident has been following NIST federal standard for over a decade and our continuous SOC 2 examination gives our clients confidence that the way we operate has been independently evaluated. It's not something you earn and forget. We work every day to maintain that standard ," said John Ahlberg, CEO and Founder of Waident.
For Waident clients, the renewed SOC 2 examination means:
- Confidence that sensitive business data is managed using independently validated security controls.
- A technology partner that supports regulatory and compliance initiatives.
- Strong operational processes designed to reduce risk and improve reliability.
- Continued investment in security, documentation, and operational maturity.
While SOC 2 is not required for managed service providers, relatively few MSPs complete the examination. Waident believes independent verification is an important part of earning and maintaining client trust.
Organizations interested in learning more about Waident's security practices or requesting information about its SOC 2 report are encouraged to contact the company.
