After reviewing compliance with the SOC criteria, the company conducted both an external and internal security penetration test.

Leading independent auditor, Frank, Rimerman +Co completed the SOC 2 audit, verifying that Bright Funds processes and systems meet all the requirements for security, availability and confidentiality.
