Texture Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance
This isn't my first time through a compliance process. Across six startups and multiple industries, I've been through both PCI compliance and SOC 2 twice before this, at companies handling Social Security numbers and consumer credit data. I've seen what happens when companies treat security as an afterthought and have to retrofit it later. It's painful, expensive, and avoidable.
When we started building Texture, we built the infrastructure from scratch with security as a first-class concern. Everything was designed to be trackable, auditable, and locked down from day one. Not because we had a specific audit on the calendar, but because I've been down this road enough times to know that the companies who don't think about this early end up paying for it later with a massive lift to backfill what should have been there from the start.
That foundation meant that when we started working with enterprise utilities, and they started asking the hard questions about our security posture (which they absolutely should), we were ready. The controls were already in place. We didn't have to scramble to stand something up. We just needed to formalize it with an independent audit.
We're proud to say that Texture has completed our SOC 2 Type II audit, conducted by Advantage Partners, an independent third-party auditor. The audit covered a three-month observation period and resulted in a clean, unqualified opinion with no exceptions noted. We didn't have to remediate a single control.
#What SOC 2 Type II means
SOC 2 Type II is an attestation from an independent auditor that our security controls are both well-designed and operating effectively over time. For enterprises and infrastructure operators evaluating vendors, it provides an auditable basis for trust rather than asking you to take our word for it.
The audit covers the security, availability, and confidentiality of our systems, evaluating the controls governing how we handle your data, how our infrastructure stays up, and how access is managed and monitored. If you're evaluating Texture and want to review the full audit report, you can request it directly through our trust center.
#Built for utility infrastructure
Texture integrates with utility operational systems across the stack, from AMI and meter data to SCADA and grid topology, to give utilities a unified view of what's happening on their network. Whether it's grid infrastructure, distributed energy resources, or member usage data, we know that level of access demands a higher level of trust. Our platform runs in a secure, isolated cloud environment with strict tenant separation. Customer data is logically isolated at every layer. We ingest operational data through controlled integration points, not by sitting on your OT network. The boundary between your operational technology and our platform is well-defined, monitored, and auditable.
Security isn't a milestone you check off. It's an operational discipline, and it started long before the audit did. If you're evaluating Texture, you can review our security posture, policies, and compliance documentation directly at our trust center: trust.texturehq.com
