Empwr.ai Is Officially SOC 2 Type 2 Certified

March 3, 2026
By Jeremiah Seraphine

Your AI PM just got its security clearance.

When we set out to build Empwr.ai, we made a bet: the next generation of complex programs would be coordinated by AI teammates working alongside humans. That bet comes with a responsibility. If an AI PM is going to sit inside your meetings, read your tools, and act on your program's behalf, it has to earn the same trust you'd extend to your best human teammate.

Today, we're proud to announce that Empwr.ai has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) standards for SOC for Service Organizations (SSAE 18).

This isn't a checkbox. It's a statement about how we build.

What SOC 2 Type 2 Means, and Why It Matters for AI

SOC 2 Type 1 validates that security controls exist at a point in time. Type 2 goes further. It validates that those controls operate effectively over a sustained period. An independent auditor examined our systems, processes, and controls and confirmed they work consistently. Not just on demo day.

For an AI-native platform like Empwr.ai, this distinction matters. Our AI PM connects to your meetings, your systems of record, your project tools, and your planning artifacts. It builds a living model of your program's real state and acts on it: dependencies, decisions, risks, and execution health. That kind of access demands enterprise-grade security, not just enterprise-grade features.

SOC 2 Type 2 is third-party validation that Empwr delivers exactly that.

Security Is a Design Principle, Not a Feature

At Empwr, security has never been a bolt-on. It's embedded in the architecture of the Execution Intelligence Platform and in the Enterprise Control Model that governs every deployment of the AI PM.

Every Empwr deployment includes five clearly defined control surfaces:

  • Data Boundary Control. Organizations choose exactly which tools, channels, and meetings the AI PM can access. Data is scoped per team, program, or org unit. Sensitive channels can be excluded at any time.
  • Decision Authority. The AI PM surfaces signals and risks with evidence attached. It never makes final decisions. All agentic actions require human approval thresholds set by your organization.
  • Memory Scope. Organizations control what the AI PM remembers and for how long, with full data ownership and the right to permanent deletion at any time.
  • Escalation Paths. Configurable thresholds determine when the AI PM alerts vs. when it acts.
  • Auditability. Every insight traces to its source. Decision lineage, compliance reporting, full transparency. No black boxes.

SOC 2 Type 2 certification validates the infrastructure behind these controls. The promises we make in every enterprise conversation are now backed by independently verified security operations.

Why This Matters Now

Enterprise buyers in 2026 aren't just asking "what can your AI do?" They're asking "what can I control?" and "how do I know it's secure?"

AI agents are joining the workforce. They're handling tasks, generating reports, flagging risks. The coordination layer that manages hybrid human-agent teams needs to be held to the highest standard. Empwr's AI PM is that coordination layer. And now, its security posture has been independently validated.

For our customers and prospects running large-scale programs across industries and regulated environments, SOC 2 Type 2 certification means:

  • Faster procurement cycles. Security and compliance teams have the independent validation they need.
  • Confidence at scale. As Empwr's AI PM develops muscle memory for your organization, you can trust that the platform protecting that intelligence meets rigorous standards.
  • A partner who takes trust seriously. The compounding value of the AI PM depends on trust. Trust drives usage, usage deepens context, context compounds intelligence. That cycle starts with security.

Thank You

This milestone wouldn't have been possible without Prescient Security, who conducted our audit with rigor and professionalism, and Vanta, whose compliance automation platform helped us operationalize security from day one.

SOC 2 Type 2 is a milestone, not a finish line. We'll keep investing in security, privacy, and compliance as the Execution Intelligence Platform grows. Building the AI PM your team can trust requires nothing less.
