Building Trust in AI for Life Sciences: Salt AI Achieves SOC 2 Type 1 Certification

At Salt AI, trust is part of our foundation. Today, we’re proud to announce that Salt AI has successfully completed a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit, conducted by independent auditing firm Sensiba LLP. The audit was completed with no noted exceptions, resulting in a clean opinion.

This certification marks a major milestone in our mission to empower life sciences organizations with secure, compliant, and cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

Why SOC 2 Matters — Especially in Life Sciences

In highly regulated fields like life sciences, security & compliance are paramount. Research teams and clinical organizations rely on sensitive data, from patient information to proprietary scientific discoveries, that must be handled with the highest levels of trust and integrity.

SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is the gold standard for evaluating whether a company’s systems and processes meet strict criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

For life sciences organizations, a SOC 2 report isn’t just a box to check. It is a signal of reliability, proof that partners like Salt AI have the controls in place to keep critical scientific data safe, compliant, and trustworthy.

Salt AI’s Approach to Compliance and Security

Salt AI provides an AI development platform built specifically for life sciences. With visual-first pipeline development, real-time collaboration between domain experts and machine learning engineers, and seamless integration with leading models and data sources, we’ve designed our system to accelerate scientific discovery without compromising compliance.

Our SOC 2 audit validated a broad set of safeguards, including:

  • Encryption at rest and in transit using industry-standard technologies

  • Role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication for sensitive assets

  • Incident response, risk management, business continuity, and disaster recovery controls, aligned to enterprise and life sciences regulatory needs

  • Continuous vulnerability management, including automated scanning and annual penetration testing

These controls are operationally embedded into Salt AI to ensure customer data remains secure and compliant every step of the way.

What SOC 2 Type 1 Means for Our Customers

The SOC 2 Type 1 audit examined the design and implementation of our internal controls at a defined point in time. Passing with no exceptions means Salt AI has been independently verified as having the right structures in place to safeguard life sciences workloads.

For our customers, this milestone translates into:

  • Confidence in the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive scientific and clinical data

  • Independent assurance that Salt AI’s platform is built on secure, compliant foundations

  • Support for regulatory requirements, reducing friction in audits and compliance reviews

Looking Ahead: Compliance as a Continuous Journey

Achieving SOC 2 Type I is part of Salt AI’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and strengthening our compliance posture as life sciences organizations push the boundaries of research and innovation.

We know groundbreaking discoveries are only possible when researchers and organizations can fully trust the infrastructure powering their work. With SOC 2 compliance, we’re proud to help provide that foundation.
