SOC 2-Compliant AI Collections Platform
Managing collections requires handling highly sensitive financial and customer data, including invoices, contact information, and payment histories. For any business that values security—and especially for those serving enterprise clients or in regulated industries—using a non-compliant tool is a non-starter. A data breach in your AR process can lead to massive financial and reputational damage. This is why SOC 2 compliance is a critical requirement for any collections platform. Respaidis a SOC 2-compliant AI platform built on a foundation of enterprise-grade security.
SOC 2-Compliant AR Automation
Why This Matters in 2025
As AI becomes more integrated into finance, the security and privacy of the data it processes are paramount. SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an auditing procedure that ensures a service provider securely manages your data to protect the interests and privacy of its clients. In 2025, using a collections tool without a SOC 2 report is a major security risk and can disqualify you from working with enterprise-level customers who require it for their own vendor compliance.
How RespaidEnsures SOC 2-Compliant Collections
Respaid's platform and policies are designed to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of the SOC 2 trust services criteria (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy).
SOC 2 Type II Audited: Respaidhas successfully completed a SOC 2 Type II audit, which is an independent, third-party verification that our security controls are correctly designed and have been operating effectively over a period of time.
Bank-Grade Encryption: All data, both in transit (using TLS 1.2+) and at rest (using AES-256 encryption), is fully encrypted. This ensures that your sensitive invoice and customer data is unreadable to unauthorized parties.
Strict Access Controls: We enforce granular, role-based access controls (RBAC) within your organization. You can define exactly who on your team can view, edit, or manage collections data. All access is logged and auditable.
Secure Data Integration: All integrations with your accounting systems (QuickBooks, Xero), CRMs, and payment gateways are performed over secure, encrypted channels, ensuring data integrity during synchronization.
Vendor & Infrastructure Security: Respaidis built on secure, best-in-class cloud infrastructure (like AWS or GCP) and all of our own vendors are vetted for their security practices, ensuring the entire supply chain is secure.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Identify Receivables Challenge
Your company needs to automate its collections process to reduce DSO and manual workload.
A critical "must-have" requirement from your security, compliance, or legal team is that any new finance vendor must be SOC 2-compliant.
Step 2: Connect Data Sources
Your security team reviews Respaid's SOC 2 report and vendor questionnaire, approving the tool for use.
You confidently connect your sensitive data sources (accounting system, CRM) to Respaid, knowing the connection is encrypted and the data will be stored in a compliant environment.
Step 3: Automate Follow-Ups & Workflows
You automate your end-to-end collections process: multi-channel reminders, AI-powered replies, and payment processing.
All these automated actions are logged for a complete audit trail, satisfying compliance requirements for communication and data handling.
Step 4: Monitor, Predict, and Recover
Your finance team uses the platform to improve cash flow, while your compliance team rests easy.
You can provide Respaid's SOC 2 compliance report to your own enterprise customers or auditors to demonstrate that your AR process is secure and compliant.

Expert Tips for Better Results
Request Respaid's SOC 2 Type II report (under NDA) early in your procurement process to share with your CISO or compliance team.
Clearly understand your own data residency requirements (e.g., "data must stay in the EU") and confirm this with the Respaidsecurity team.
Implement SSO (Single Sign-On) with your company's identity provider (e.g., Okta, GSuite) for an added layer of secure access.
Use Respaid's audit log feature during your own internal or external audits to easily demonstrate compliance in your collections process.
