Cognism completes 2026 SOC 2 Type II audit

Cognism announced on February 27, 2026 that it had completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, covering controls related to security and availability across its sales intelligence system. The examination covered November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025, and Cognism says it confirmed that its controls were suitably designed and operated effectively over that period. The report was issued by independent service auditor Insight Assurance under AICPA standards, and Cognism says the examination did not identify any “significant system incidents”. Cognism says the report evaluates how it protects customer data, maintains availability, manages access, monitors security events and responds to incidents across its cloud infrastructure.

The details

• The audit period ran from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.

Cognism later moved its ISO 27001 and 27701 certification to a UKAS-accredited body (September 16, 2026), its second compliance item in our coverage this year, and made CRM Enrichment generally available with an MCP connection (October 13, 2026).
