Holly AI Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance, Reinforcing Enterprise-Grade Data Security

MIAMI, FL — November 18, 2025 — SearchAI, the forensic audit platform for digital advertising, today announced that Holly AI—its proprietary multi-agent artificial intelligence system—has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance. The certification demonstrates SearchAI's commitment to enterprise-grade data security, privacy, and operational excellence, meeting the rigorous standards required by enterprise brands and agencies.

SOC 2 Type II is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates how organizations protect customer data over an extended period. Unlike Type I compliance, which assesses security controls at a single point in time, Type II certification requires demonstrating consistent operational effectiveness over a minimum six-month audit period.

"Enterprise advertisers and agencies need more than results—they need guarantees. SOC 2 Type II compliance ensures that Holly AI meets the rigorous standards our largest partners require. When you connect your Google Ads account to SearchAI, you can trust that your data is protected by the same security framework used by Fortune 500 companies."

What SOC 2 Type II Compliance Means for Customers

The SOC 2 Type II certification covers five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. For SearchAI customers, this certification provides assurance in several critical areas:

• Data Isolation: Each client workspace is strictly isolated. Advertising data, audit findings, and strategic recommendations are never shared across tenants or accessible to other customers.
• Read-Only Access: SearchAI connects to Google Ads via read-only API access. The platform cannot make changes to your campaigns—it can only analyze and report on data.
• No Cross-Tenant AI Training: Client advertising data is never used to train Holly AI models. While Holly can leverage public research and aggregated industry benchmarks, private client data remains strictly confidential.
• Comprehensive Audit Logging: All system access, data queries, and user actions are logged and auditable, supporting compliance requirements for regulated industries.
• Encryption Standards: Data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3, meeting or exceeding industry best practices.

Meeting Enterprise Requirements

As SearchAI expands its presence with enterprise brands and large agency holding companies, SOC 2 Type II compliance has become increasingly critical. Many enterprise procurement processes require SOC 2 certification as a baseline security requirement before vendors can access advertising data.

The certification also supports SearchAI's White Label Partnership Program, which allows agencies to deliver SearchAI-powered audits under their own brand. With SOC 2 compliance, agency partners can confidently assure their enterprise clients that the underlying technology meets institutional security standards.

"AI-powered tools are only as trustworthy as the security infrastructure behind them. By achieving SOC 2 Type II, we're demonstrating that SearchAI isn't just powerful—it's enterprise-ready. Our partners can confidently deploy Holly AI knowing that their clients' data is protected by independently verified controls."
