Mindway AI Secures SOC 2 Type 2 as U.S. Procurement Standards Tighten
Certification reinforces enterprise eligibility in North America as vendor scrutiny intensifies
Mindway AI has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, strengthening its position in security-sensitive procurement environments and reinforcing its enterprise eligibility across regulated North American markets.
The accreditation builds on the company’s existing ISO 27001 framework and aligns its security posture with compliance standards increasingly embedded in U.S. operator procurement processes.
From Differentiator to Procurement Baseline
For suppliers in regulated gambling markets, SOC 2 Type 2 has shifted from competitive advantage to commercial prerequisite.
Unlike SOC 2 Type 1-which assesses control design at a specific point in time-Type 2 evaluates operational effectiveness over an extended audit period. For operators and enterprise partners, this confirms that security controls function consistently in live production environments.
As procurement teams formalise third-party risk frameworks, Type 2 certification is increasingly treated as baseline infrastructure rather than premium positioning.
Heightened Scrutiny for Responsible Gambling Vendors
Security accreditation is becoming a gating factor in responsible gambling technology procurement.
As U.S. operators integrate player protection systems into core platform architecture — including recent deployments such as DraftKings integrating Mindway AI’s Gamalyze tool for responsible gaming-vendor due diligence has intensified across data handling, system availability, and processing integrity.Responsible gambling providers process behavioural analytics, risk scoring outputs, and potentially sensitive player data-placing additional emphasis on demonstrable operational controls.
SOC 2 compliance, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, carries particular weight in U.S. enterprise environments. Vendors lacking Type 2 certification can face extended onboarding cycles or exclusion from RFP processes.
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 certification alongside ISO 27001 significantly strengthens our security posture,” stated Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO at Mindway AI.
Commercial and Competitive Implications
While accreditation alone does not determine market leadership, it materially reduces procurement friction. SOC 2 Type 2 can accelerate sales cycles, lower compliance review burdens, and strengthen credibility with legal, compliance, and IT stakeholders.
As U.S. regulatory expectations rise and enterprise operators standardise vendor risk requirements, SOC 2 Type 2 is fast becoming a structural requirement for suppliers seeking long-term access to regulated North American iGaming markets.
