TAMPA & DERRY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 — Learning Pool has successfully completed its SOC 2 audit and achieved the Cyber Essentials certification, reinforcing our commitment to protecting customer data and maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.
For customers, these achievements provide greater peace of mind. SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is a globally recognized standard that assesses a company’s controls around security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Successfully completing the audit demonstrates that our systems and practices are robust, reliable, and designed to protect sensitive information.
The SOC 2 audit was carried out by A-LIGN—the leading provider in cybersecurity compliance trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.
The Cyber Essentials certification, a UK government-backed standard, further validates our proactive approach to defending against the most common cyber threats. Together, these accreditations demonstrate that we have the processes and defenses in place to mitigate risks, safeguard customer data, and deliver a secure digital learning environment.
Michael Kelly, Chief Information Officer at Learning Pool, commented: “Our customers trust us with their most valuable asset their people’s learning and data. Earning SOC 2 and Cyber Essentials certification reflects our ongoing commitment to that trust. We will continue to invest in strong security and compliance frameworks, ensuring our platforms remain safe, reliable, and resilient.”
These milestones build on our long-standing focus on security, enabling organizations worldwide to deliver learning confidently while meeting regulatory and compliance requirements.
