“Because Domandata stores sensitive survey and respondent data, demonstrating strong security practices to researchers and their institutions is essential to us. GOCO Security gives us a single platform to manage our compliance program — mapping controls, tracking evidence, and staying audit-ready. We have started with SOC 2, because it's what our community expects, and GOCO is built to scale with us as we pursue additional certifications.”

SOC 2

Working towards SOC 2 Type I.

SOC 2 is an independent audit that verifies security controls meet the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. Below is our current progress toward Type I.

Progress to Type I~80%

SOC 2 Security framework adopted

All 34 Trust Services Criteria mapped to policies and controls.

Security policies written

Covering access management, incident response, data classification, business continuity, vendor risk, and more.

Technical controls implemented

Encryption, audit logging, MFA, Row-Level Security, branch protection, and secrets management.

Policies formally approved

All 10 policies approved by both founders (June 18, 2026; two updated and re-approved July 21, 2026).

Auditor engaged

Selecting an independent CPA firm to perform the Type I assessment.

SOC 2 Type I report issued

Point-in-time audit confirming controls are suitably designed.

Institutional Review

Documentation for your IRB or IT office.

You can link directly to this page (domandata.net/trust) or to /security in an IRB protocol or data management plan. We can provide a written description of our security controls for an institutional security questionnaire. Our infrastructure providers (Supabase and Vercel) both hold SOC 2 Type II certification — documentation is available on request.
