Why SOC 2 compliance matters
Security and trust aren’t just IT concerns anymore; they’re business essentials.
At Captura, we’re proud to share that we’ve achieved SOC 2 compliance, a rigorous, independently verified standard that demonstrates our commitment to protecting the data we manage on behalf of studios, schools, and families.
More than a badge, this reflects something bigger: our promise to help studios make more, more confidence, more trust, and more opportunity, through a secure, dependable ecosystem.
What SOC 2 actually means
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized auditing framework created by the AICPA.
It evaluates how service providers manage customer data across five key principles:
Security – Systems are protected from unauthorized access.
Availability – Services run reliably, as promised.
Processing integrity – Data is processed accurately and completely.
Confidentiality – Sensitive information stays protected.
Privacy – Personal data is handled responsibly, from collection to deletion.
Our external audit verified that our internal controls meet these standards. This means we strive for continuous effectiveness.
Why this matters to you
When your business depends on student and school data, security is a cornerstone of your reputation.
Here’s how our SOC 2 compliance benefits you directly:
Reassurance for schools and parents
When you use Captura, you’re backed by an ecosystem that’s independently audited for data protection. That means you can confidently tell schools and families their data—student images, contact details, yearbook orders—is handled under proven security controls.Reduced risk and more confidence
Every studio faces potential data-handling risks. Working with a SOC 2-compliant partner significantly reduces operational and reputational exposure, so you can focus on serving schools, not worrying about what’s happening behind the scenes.A competitive edge in school partnerships
Many schools and districts now require or prefer vendors who meet recognized security standards. With our compliance in place, you can meet those expectations instantly and strengthen your position in RFPs or renewal discussions.
Why it matters for schools
Schools trust studios with something deeply personal: the visual record of their students’ journeys.
By choosing a studio that partners with a SOC 2-compliant provider, schools gain:
Peace of mind that student data is secure
Confidence in compliance with their own data-handling obligations
Assurance that their photography partner values integrity
In short, it helps schools trust you, and that trust grows your business.
Building trust, together
Photography may capture moments, but trust sustains relationships.
With our SOC 2 compliance, you’re not just using a secure ecosystem, you’re partnering with a company that shares your responsibility to protect what matters most: the memories and data of every student you serve.
Together, we’re raising the standard for security, professionalism, and confidence in the school photography industry.
