At HomeBoost, our mission is to empower homeowners with accessible, innovative tools to improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, optimize the home upgrade experience, and enhance comfort. Through cutting-edge technology and actionable insights, we aim to make sustainable living simple, affordable, and achievable for everyone. To do that, we use innovative tools—from thermal imaging to AI-driven insights—that rely on collecting and analyzing sensitive data about people’s homes. We believe that earning and keeping your trust requires more than just great technology. It also requires a deep commitment to protecting your data.
That’s why we’re proud to share that HomeBoost is now SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.
What SOC 2 Type 2 Means
SOC 2 (Service Organization Controls 2) is a rigorous framework created by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that evaluates how companies secure customer data. A SOC 2 Type 2 report isn’t just a one-time certification; it verifies that security processes and controls are not only well-designed but consistently followed over a defined audit period.
In short: SOC 2 Type 2 proves that security is part of how we operate every single day—not just a box we check.
Why It Matters
We’re often trusted with highly detailed home data—images, energy performance metrics, and household characteristics—that help us identify savings opportunities, validate contractor work, and improve comfort for families. SOC 2 compliance is our way of telling you:
- Your data belongs to you. We safeguard it with the industry’s most respected security standards.
- Your trust is essential. Inviting us into your home, even virtually, is a big step. We take that privilege seriously.
- Your information is safe. Our policies, infrastructure, and practices are routinely audited by independent experts.
Why We Pursued SOC 2 Now
As HomeBoost grows and expands partnerships with contractors, utilities, and homeowners nationwide, we knew it was the right time to formalize our security commitments. By pursuing SOC 2 early, we’re building a strong foundation to protect customer data, mitigate risks, and ensure security remains core to every feature we develop.
We received our SOC 2 Type 2 report in 2025 and are committed to maintaining compliance through annual audits. This isn’t a milestone we’ll revisit once—it’s part of an ongoing strategy to earn and retain your trust as we scale.
The Journey to Compliance
Achieving SOC 2 compliance is no small feat. It required thoughtful planning, focus, and the right partners:
- Vanta: We partnered with Vanta, the leader in trust management, to automate evidence collection and streamline policy implementation. Their platform gave us a strong security foundation and clear roadmap to readiness.
- Advantage Partners: Our audit firm, Advantage Partners, provided expert guidance to ensure a seamless audit process. Their evaluation confirmed our controls were designed effectively and operating as intended throughout the audit window.
- Workstreet: We collaborated with Workstreet to ensure our security policies and documentation met industry best practices. Their expertise helped us implement the right internal processes to support ongoing compliance.
Together, these partners helped us move from planning to full audit readiness in weeks, not months. With SOC 2 controls now fully embedded into our workflows, future audits will be even smoother.
A Security-First Future
Security isn’t just a compliance checkbox at HomeBoost: it’s part of our DNA. Whether you’re a homeowner using BoostBox, a contractor verifying your work, or a utility integrating with our platform, you can be confident that your information is safe.
This milestone is one step in our larger commitment: smarter assessments, stronger security, greater trust.
