UnicornForms is SOC2 Type I Compliant!

We’re pleased to announce that UnicornForms is now SOC 2 Type I compliant.
This milestone affirms our commitment to protecting your data with industry-leading standards for security, availability, and confidentiality, and it’s just one step in our long-standing mission to be the most secure document platform on the market.

More Than a Checkbox: Our Security Philosophy

SOC 2 compliance is often treated like a late-stage checkbox. Not at UnicornForms.

Before this certification, we were already:

• HIPAA compliant – for healthcare and covered entities
• FERPA compliant – protecting student education records
• COPPA compliant – for services involving children under 13
• CCPA & GDPR aligned – with strong privacy rights and data controls
• Built on infrastructure that’s SOC 2 Type II compliant – our cloud services meet the highest bar for ongoing security monitoring

In other words, SOC 2 didn’t make us secure. It validated what we’ve already built.

What SOC 2 Type I Means

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) is a framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how companies manage customer data based on five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Type I means an independent auditor has reviewed our systems and confirmed our controls are designed effectively, ie right now, not just aspirationally.

We worked with expert auditors to document and harden every part of our security program from encryption and access controls to incident response, vendor management, and internal training.

What’s Next: Type II, Public Reporting & More

We’re already in the process of achieving SOC 2 Type II, which measures how our controls perform over time.

We're also investing in:

• Independent penetration testing and red-teaming
• A public-facing security and privacy trust center
• Ongoing compliance with HIPAA, FERPA, COPPA, CCPA, and GDPR
• Custom security assessments and support for enterprise and public sector clients

A Message to Our Users

We know that if you’re choosing UnicornForms, you care deeply about compliance, transparency, and protecting your users' data. That’s why security isn’t a feature for us — it’s the foundation.

Whether you're a school district, hospital, nonprofit, or startup, you deserve tools that respect your risk and operate with integrity.

We’re proud to meet that standard and to keep raising the bar.
