Proven Trust: G-Accon Earns SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR Attestation

G-Accon has officially received its SOC 2 Type 2 attestation report and GDPR attestation, both verified by independent auditing firm Sensiba.

If you read our earlier update on achieving SOC 2 Type 1, GDPR compliance, and our Intuit and Xero partner awards, you already know where we stand on trust. We don't treat security as a checkbox. We treat it as part of the product.

If you work in finance or accounting, you already know what's at stake. The data running through your reporting tools, account balances, transactions, and consolidated financials across multiple entities is sensitive. You need to know that every tool in your stack is handling it correctly.

This attestation is how we show you, not just tell you, that G-Accon takes data protection seriously.

So What Exactly Is SOC 2 Type 2?

SOC 2 is a security framework created by the AICPA. It looks at how a company protects customer data across five areas:

• Security
• Availability
• Processing integrity
• Confidentiality
• Privacy.

To earn a SOC 2 report, an independent auditor digs into your systems, policies, and controls. They test everything. They then issue an opinion on their findings. Not every company goes through this process, and not every company that does comes out clean on the other side.

One important detail worth calling out: you might see people say "SOC 2 certified." Many companies use that phrase because it's familiar. But SOC 2 is best understood as an attestation report, not a product certification as you'd see in other compliance programs. We'll keep our language precise because that's part of being transparent with you.

There are two types of SOC 2 reports. The difference between them matters more than you might think.

Think of it this way. Type 1 checks if you have a lock on the door. Type 2 checks if you actually lock it every single night.

That difference matters if you rely on G-Accon for ongoing reporting workflows, monthly closes, consolidations, and recurring data pulls. You're not using G-Accon one time. You're building repeatable processes around it. So the question isn't just whether the right controls exist, it's whether they hold up over the weeks and months your team depends on them.

Our Type 2 audit covered our entire Software-as-a-Service system from June 1 through August 31, 2025. Sensiba examined our controls across all five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Many companies only pursue one or two of those criteria. We went after all five.

GDPR Attestation Too

We didn't stop at SOC 2. G-Accon also received a GDPR attestation confirming that our data handling practices align with Article 5 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

If your business operates across borders or serves clients in the EU, you already know how important the GDPR is. G-Accon supports customers in the US, EU, New Zealand, and Australia, so this attestation confirms that your data is handled in accordance with internationally recognized privacy standards, regardless of your team's location.

What This Means for You as a G-Accon Customer

If you're a finance lead, accountant, or firm owner, you probably care about two things: Can this tool do the job? And can I trust it with the data?

SOC 2 Type 2 directly addresses that second question.

It supports the conclusion that G-Accon has controls in place for handling sensitive data and for system operations—and that an independent auditor tested those controls during an observation period.

This doesn't mean "nothing can ever go wrong." No serious security program makes that promise. It means you have stronger evidence that the program is real, measurable, and maintained.

What Was Evaluated

SOC 2 reports align with the AICPA Trust Services Criteria. In plain terms, these criteria map to the factors you actually worry about when you connect systems and move financial information:

If you work at a firm, this is also useful when clients ask uncomfortable questions like, "What tools touch my data?" and "How do you vet them?" A Type 2 report gives you a cleaner, more credible answer.

How This Connects to the Work You Already Do

Most people use G-Accon because it eliminates tedious reporting. You pull QuickBooks or Xero data into Google Sheets. You refresh numbers without manual exports. You standardize templates. You consolidate across clients or entities. You build dashboards that make sense for your firm or finance team.

Those workflows save time. They also increase the value of your reporting because you stop spending energy on pulling data and start spending energy on thinking.

That's the product side. The trust side is just as important, because your workflows touch financial records, client data, and operational details you can't afford to mishandle. SOC 2 Type 2 supports that trust side.

What This Means for Your Team

If you've ever had to complete a vendor security questionnaire, you know how much time they take. And you're probably filling out more of them than ever.

According to BetterCloud's 2024 State of SaaSOps Report, companies now use an average of 106 SaaS applications—and each one needs to be vetted by your risk and compliance team. Our SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR attestation makes the process faster and simpler for G-Accon.

Why We Push This Work So Hard

Security work is rarely visible. It doesn't ship as a flashy feature in your dashboard. But it's the foundation for everything else we build.

If you read our earlier post about SOC 2 Type 1, GDPR, and partner recognition, one theme stands out. G-Accon keeps moving from "useful add-on" to "core workflow tool you can rely on."

You don't get there by moving fast and hoping for the best. You get there by doing the unglamorous work, writing policies, tightening access, reviewing controls, collecting evidence, and letting independent auditors test what you claim.

We're making relentless progress in growth and security. Not the kind of progress that shows up in a single headline. The kind that shows up when your team depends on the system month after month, quarter after quarter.

See It for Yourself

We maintain a Trust Center where customers and partners can access security documentation, including our SOC 2 reports, attestation letters, and related materials. Along with the report, we also have updated SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR badges you can use in internal reviews, vendor assessments, and client-facing compliance decks.

What You Should Do Next

If you're already a G-Accon customer, nothing changes in your day-to-day workflow. But there are a few things worth doing while it's fresh:

• Update your vendor documentation. If your firm maintains a vendor list or conducts periodic reviews, update the G-Accon entry to reflect SOC 2 Type 2 status and the latest attestation letter.
• Save the badges for client reporting. When clients ask what tools touch their data and how you vet them, the SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR badges are ready for your decks and internal documentation.
• Share the Trust Center link with procurement or IT. If your company runs vendor reviews, your compliance team can access everything they need directly from the G-Accon Trust Center. It speeds up reviews when the evidence is in one place.
