Noodle today announced that it has achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, reinforcing the company’s commitment to protecting the data of its university partners and learners. The independent, third-party assessment provides validation that Noodle’s security controls are appropriately designed to meet applicable SOC 2 criteria at a point in time.


Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 Type I is a widely recognized framework for evaluating how service providers manage and secure customer information. Achieving SOC 2 Type I compliance demonstrates that Noodle has established robust security policies, procedures, and technical safeguards to help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure.


“Achieving SOC 2 Type I compliance is not a one‑time event; it reflects the maturity of the processes we run every day,” said Russ Tarafdar, Chief Technology Officer at Noodle. “From how we design and ship software to how we monitor our environment, security is built into Noodle’s culture and platform.”


Noodle’s security program includes strong access controls, encryption of data in transit and at rest, continuous monitoring, and formal incident response and risk‑management processes, all designed to align with industry best practices and evolving regulatory expectations.
