BOCA RATON, Fla.Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ —  Honorlock, an online proctoring solution that is transforming how education institutions protect the academic integrity of online courses and assessments, today announced it has successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) readiness.

The audit affirms that Honorlock’s information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security, availability, and confidentiality. Honorlock met or exceeded the industry-leading standard in all areas.
