Question 1

“Do you have SOC 2 Type II, and how do we get the report?”

Answer
Not answered

The site covers security controls such as encryption, single sign-on, audit history and field-level permissions. It never says whether Hourglass holds SOC 2 Type II or any other certification, or how to request an audit report.

What is missing:
- Whether Hourglass holds a SOC 2 Type II report is not stated.
- No other compliance certifications or attestations are listed.
- There is no way described to request an audit report, such as under NDA or through a trust portal.

Where: New section on /security, placed after "Security and control, built into every hub".
  Related sections: Security and control, built into every hub · Encryption · Audit history · Data region choice
  Main topics: Certifications and attestations held · Audit period and auditor scope · How to request reports · NDA or trust portal access · Security review questionnaires

What to do:
1. Confirm with the security and compliance team which certifications and attestations Hourglass holds, their scope and their current audit periods.
2. Confirm the process for sharing reports, such as an NDA, a trust portal or a request through the contact page, and who handles requests.
3. Add the section listing each certification with the request route and a link to request a report.

Done when: /security names each certification Hourglass holds and explains how to request its report.

Answer full page
I don't have information about a SOC 2 Type II report or how to request it. The site covers Hourglass security controls such as encryption, audit history, single sign-on and field-level permissions, but not certifications. I can put you in touch with the team to get you a clear answer on the report.

Question 2

“Where would our data be stored, is it encrypted, and can we limit who sees each field?”

Answer
Partly answered

Encryption in transit and at rest and field-level permissions by role and team are covered, and the site says you can choose where data is stored. It never lists which data regions are offered.

List the available data regions on /security

Who needs it: CTOs and IT or security reviewers checking a vendor (this visitor: Whirlpool Corporation)
Section: /security › Data region choice (card)

What is missing:
- The data regions a workspace can be stored in are not named.
- It does not say whether the region can be changed after the workspace is created.

Where: Update this section: expand the "Data region choice" card, beside "Encryption" and "Field-level permissions".
  Related sections: Create your workspace (on /get-started)

What to do:
1. Confirm with engineering and the security team which data regions are offered and whether a workspace can move region later.
2. Add the confirmed region list and the change policy to the card.
3. Make the "choose your region" mention on /get-started consistent with the confirmed list.

Done when: /security names every data region a customer can choose and whether the region can be changed.

Answer full page
This page shows the security controls that answer all three: you choose the data region your workspace lives in, your data is encrypted, and field-level permissions decide who can see and change each field. The docs article below lists the regions you can choose from.
