Sanborn Achieves SOC 2 Type 2 Attestation for Second Consecutive Year, Expanding Scope Across Private Cloud and Google Cloud (GCP)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Sanborn Map Company, Inc. (Sanborn), a leader in geospatial solutions and data services, is proud to announce it has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type 2 audit for the second year in a row. This independent attestation, conducted by a licensed CPA firm, affirms that Sanborn’s controls relevant to security, availability, and confidentiality were appropriately designed and operated effectively over the audit period from February 2025 through January 2026.

This year’s attestation expands the scope of in-scope services to include:

• Sanborn’s SaaS solutions hosted in its private cloud
• Solutions hosted in Google Cloud, including MapGeo (for municipal government) and Giza, an appliance allowing high-resolution aerial imagery to load faster while providing usage analytics.

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 Type 2 framework is one of the most rigorous standards for data protection and organizational controls. It demonstrates how a company maintains and enforces its policies and systems through sustained operations and oversight. This is especially important in the geospatial industry, where handling sensitive location-based data and supporting asset management demands robust, verifiable security and reliability.

“I’m proud to share that Sanborn has earned our SOC 2 Type 2 attestation for the second consecutive year. It’s more than a box to check—it’s an independent validation that we design and operate our controls to protect the security, availability, and confidentiality of our systems and data, day in and day out,” said Richard Butgereit, CIO. “This year’s audit period covered February 2025 through January 2026, demonstrating that our controls performed consistently — not just at a point in time. Just as importantly, this attestation reflects the expanded scope of our services: Our clients rely on us to safeguard sensitive geospatial and operational data, and this achievement reinforces the culture of accountability and discipline as we scale. I’m grateful to everyone at Sanborn who contributes to that standard every day.”

As part of this achievement, Sanborn will continue to feature a SOC 2 icon on its website alongside ISO 9001 references. The icon links to a dedicated resource page outlining what SOC 2 entails and why it matters for Sanborn’s clients, partners, and stakeholders.
