HES FinTech, a leading provider of lending software, has successfully completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 examination. The audit was conducted with the help of Johanson Group LLP, a premier certification body that helps organizations obtain and maintain global compliance standards.
Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters
Established and held by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 framework sets rigorous standards for how service organizations store, process, and protect client data.
In lending and financial businesses handling sensitive borrower data, credit decision information, and core lending operations, SOC 2 is now a baseline for vendor due diligence. Banks, credit unions, and regulated lenders expect technology partners to demonstrate independently verified controls before entering or renewing contracts.
Passing the audit and achieving a SOC 2 report confirm that internal policies, technical safeguards, and operational routines of the vendor are built on recognized control and security frameworks, not just internal claims.
What This Means for HES FinTech Clients
For HES FinTech's existing clients, the SOC attestation provides immediate, tangible benefits. It shortens vendor risk assessment cycles, simplifies internal audit and compliance reporting, and provides documented evidence that the loan management, loan origination, and decisioning platforms meet AICPA criteria.
For prospective clients, the attestation removes a key procurement barrier. Financial institutions often require proof of a mature security and privacy program before pilots or deployments. SOC 2 compliance streamlines these evaluations and demonstrates HES FinTech’s readiness as a long-term enterprise partner.
It also provided clients with an independently reviewed control framework that can support broader compliance and vendor governance programs, such as GDPR in Europe, GLBA in the United States, and similar frameworks in the UK, APAC, and the Middle East.
Data integrity and security are central to how HES FinTech creates and delivers its lending technology. Completing the SOC 2 examination sets the stage for our ongoing investment in information security and compliance.
Looking ahead, HES FinTech will continue to invest in its information security practices and work closely with clients to support their own governance and risk management objectives. With SOC 2 compliance now firmly in place, the company is well-positioned to help financial institutions scale confidently and modernize their lending operations.
