Antom Receives SOC 2 Type II Certification as It Enhances Unified Merchant Payment Services with AI-Powered Payment Optimization and Risk Tech

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Antom, a leading unified merchant payment services provider under Ant International, has received Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II certification, a globally recognised benchmark for data security and privacy protection. This certification underscores Antom’s commitment to meeting the highest security standards, reinforcing its advanced payment solutions.

Issued by Ernst & Young (EY), a leading independent auditing firm, the SOC 2 Type II certification is a rigorous assessment for operating effectiveness of a service provider’s internal controls. It evaluates compliance across five trust principles: Security (protection against unauthorised access), Availability (service reliability and uptime), Processing Integrity (accurate and complete data handling), Confidentiality (encryption of sensitive information), and Privacy (compliant personal data processing).

While many companies choose to certify select principles, Antom has achieved full compliance across all five criteria for its payment processing service, further making it stands out as an industry leader in secure, AI-driven payment technology. The audit firm will conduct annual reviews, and Antom will continue its recertification process.

“Antom remains committed to empowering merchants with smarter, more secure, and more efficient unified payment solutions. By harnessing technology, we are not only simplifying transactions but also fostering a more inclusive commerce ecosystem,” said Gary Liu, General Manager of Antom, Ant International. “With a focus on innovation, security, and seamless payment experiences, Antom continues to help businesses of all sizes thrive in an evolving digital economy.”
