Stamford, CT– January 17, 2020 – LeaseWorks, a cloud-based SaaS provider for lessors and airlines that lease aircraft, today announced that it has completed its SOC 1 Type II audit for 2019. This third party certification validates that LeaseWorks has the proper internal controls and processes in place to deliver high-quality services to its clients.

The audit is a comprehensive review of all operational controls, and SOC certification is the gold standard for data security.

Through certification, LeaseWorks demonstrates its commitment to data security.

“Trust and information security are our #1 priority,” said Juan Blanco, head of compliance and chief architect at LeaseWorks. “SOC certification proves that LeaseWorks follows the best in class information security policies and procedures and shows our customers our undying commitment to protecting their data.
