commercetools’ customers value its category-leading technology for its flexibility, agility and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) at scale. Due to the true composability of commercetools' commerce solutions, its customers can create distinct tech stacks, leveraging the company’s extensive ISV partner network for a myriad of features whether its search and personalization or PIMs and PSPs. As such, there is an increased need for more trust and transparency into its commerce vendor's operations, processes, and results.

“Our SOC2 Type II report is a big pillar in our security program at commercetools, underlining the advanced and high maturity of the security controls of our Information Security Management System,” says Emil Pfrang, Head of Information Security at commercetools. 

In addition to SOC2 Type II, commercetools has also obtained HDS certification, a requirement by the French Public Health Code for handling personal health information.

Being at the core of the best-of-breed tech stacks, commercetools prioritizes information security as an integral part of the commercetools corporate strategy, continuously undergoing independent verification of platform security, privacy and compliance controls. This strong focus on standard conformance and compliance helps commercetools' customers to meet regulatory and policy objectives.

commercetools' SOC2 Type II report covers the Trust Services Criteria for Security as well as additional criteria for Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
