Axis has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, an independent assurance that has validated the long-term effectiveness of Axis’ cloud security and operational controls. The audit spans Axis Cloud Connect, the company’s open cloud platform, as well as multiple cloud-enabled solutions built with it, including Axis Device Manager Edge, Axis Device Manager Extend, and Axis Body Worn Live, validating that Axis’ controls operate consistently and reliably across real-world, production environments.
The third-party assessment confirms that Axis’ security controls are well designed and operate effectively over an extended period, addressing growing customer and industry demands for proven, continuous cyber security. The evaluation assessed Axis’ alignment with the Trust Services Criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), including security, availability, and confidentiality.
“As physical security systems become increasingly cloud-dependent, and organizations across all industries rely on cloud solutions, customers need confidence that cyber security controls don’t just exist—they perform consistently over time,” said Wayne Dorris, programme manager, cyber security at Axis Communications. “SOC 2 Type 2 provides independent verification that our controls operate effectively in live environments, helping integrators and enterprise customers manage risk, meet compliance requirements, and deploy Axis solutions at scale with confidence.”
This milestone builds on Axis Communications’ SOC 2 Type 1 achievement in August 2024. While the Type 1 review validated the design and implementation of Axis’ controls at a point in time, the Type 2 assessment goes further by evaluating how those controls performed over an extended period, providing deeper assurance of reliability, resilience, and operational discipline.
“This attestation is a major milestone for Axis,” said R&D Director Enterprise and Partner Solutions Niklas Holmqvist, Axis Communications. “It validates the robust controls and processes we have in place to safeguard our customers’ data and underscores our commitment to delivering scalable and reliable cloud-based solutions grounded in industry best practices around cyber security.”
