Refine has completed its SOC 2 Type 1 examination

An important milestone

Protecting the work researchers entrust to Refine has been a priority from the beginning. Today, we are pleased to share that we've reached an important milestone in that journey: Refine has completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2® Type 1 examination and received its first SOC 2 report.

Why it matters

Researchers may upload unpublished papers, early-stage ideas, and other work that is not yet ready to be shared publicly. We understand the trust involved in submitting that material to Refine, and we take the responsibility seriously.

The examination evaluated the design of the controls we have in place to protect our systems and the information processed through the Refine platform. For our customers and institutional partners, the report provides independent assurance that security is being built into the way Refine operates.

What's next

Completing our SOC 2® Type 1 examination is an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to security. We will continue investing in the systems, policies, and practices that help protect our customers and their work.

We're grateful to Prescient Security for conducting the examination and supporting us throughout the process.
