At AEM, trust is built in a lot of ways. It comes from the quality of the data we deliver, the reliability of the systems behind it, and the confidence customers have that the platforms they depend on are managed with care.

That is why we are proud to share an important milestone: AEM is now SOC 2 Type II compliant for AEM Elements® 360, Sferic, and the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network®. SOC 2 is an independent auditing framework for evaluating how organizations manage security and related controls. 

Why this matters

This achievement builds on AEM’s earlier SOC 2 Type I audit and reflects something even more meaningful: not just that the right controls were designed, but that they were consistently followed over time. For customers, that matters because it reinforces the operational discipline behind the products they rely on for environmental intelligence, situational awareness, and decision support.

This milestone is important for another reason, too. More and more organizations are being asked tougher questions about cybersecurity, internal controls, and how their technology partners handle critical systems and data. SOC 2 Type II helps show that AEM has put in the work, and that the work holds up over time.

The work behind the milestone

For us, that is the real story. This was not about checking a box. It was about building strong habits across the business and proving that the systems and processes behind Elements 360, Sferic, and ENTLN are supported by consistent, day-to-day discipline.

That kind of result takes a real team effort. It builds on the work that went into AEM’s earlier Type I audit and reflects contributions from people across the company. Teams worked together to strengthen systems, maintain compliant environments, complete security training, review policies, and support the controls needed to stay audit-ready throughout the observation period.

What comes next

Now that the audit is complete, the focus is not on celebrating and moving on. It is on maintaining those controls as part of how we operate every day. That ongoing commitment is what gives milestones like this real value for customers.

At the end of the day, customers count on AEM for technology that helps them make safer decisions and build more resilient operations. Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance for AEM Elements® 360, Sferic, and the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network® is one more way we are strengthening that foundation.
