FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Lauderdale, FL — February 27, 2025 — WheelHouse IT has successfully completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC 2) Type 1 examination, validating that the design of its security and availability controls meets the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria as of February 27, 2025. The independent audit was performed by Johanson Group LLP.
Fewer than one in twenty managed service providers ever attempt—let alone pass—a SOC 2 audit, underscoring WheelHouse IT’s deep investment in client protection.
“Our clients operate in heavily regulated, high-stakes environments; they need proof, not promises,” said Gani Zebersky, CEO and co-founder of WheelHouse IT. “SOC 2 was a six-figure, year-long effort, and we did it because trust is the currency of modern IT.”
Adam Kaplan, President and co-founder, added: “From our in-house Network Operations Center to the real-time Enverge portal, every process is engineered to keep businesses online and leaders informed. SOC 2 Type 1 shows the blueprint is solid; now we’re executing on Type 2 to prove the controls work day after day.”
What the Certification Covers
- Layered “Swiss-cheese” defenses that prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats
- 24/7 availability safeguards, including redundant cloud infrastructure
- Formal risk-management and incident-response procedures
