Datadobi has secured its SOC 2 Type I attestation from KPMG, validating its rigorous software engineering and security processes. This attestation underscores the company's commitment to maintaining high standards for data integrity and security, essential for organizations managing sensitive information, especially as they prepare data for AI applications.156

The SOC 2 Type I report confirms that Datadobi's internal controls meet the highest standards for the integrity, security, and confidentiality of customer data. “Renewing our SOC 2 Type I attestation independently validates the engineering discipline, quality controls, and security processes behind every Datadobi release,” stated D'Halluin. “Plenty of vendors talk about security; far fewer can show independent proof of it.”2

Datadobi employs a defensive engineering methodology throughout its software development lifecycle, ensuring that all code changes undergo peer review and extensive automated testing. “A root cause analysis then determines whether any process, test, or architectural change is needed,” ensuring continuous improvement in software quality.

The company also emphasizes the importance of quality assurance (QA), which operates independently of development to verify the quality of every release. “QA is not just about finding bugs; it’s about ensuring the client’s expectations are met,” explained a QA expert. This approach is crucial for maintaining customer trust and delivering reliable software solutions.34

As organizations increasingly rely on data for AI, Datadobi's commitment to security and quality assurance positions it as a trusted partner in the industry.

Key Insight
“The attestation, developed by AICPA, confirms internal controls meet high standards for integrity, security, and confidentiality of customer data. As unstructured data grows for AI, independent proof of data handling integrity becomes a differentiator, per CTO Carl D’Halluin.”

“Mbense says one of the biggest misconceptions about quality assurance (QA) is that it's optional. “Some see it as a simple job to just find bugs before having your software go live. It's not just about checking whether a button works. It's about making sure the client's expectations are met, plus understanding how the software behaves when people use it in ways not expected. More importantly, what will the end-user see when something does go wrong.””
