SOC 2 Announcement
At WP Engine, we are constantly striving to deliver the best WordPress technology platform in the industry. And for many businesses, quality of service is inextricably tied to the level of security provided. In fact, for your audiences, security is often the defining component when it comes to making a purchasing decision, and hosting is no exception. With that in mind, we are thrilled to let our partners know that WP Engine successfully completed a Service Organization Control (SOC 2®) Type II audit!
What is SOC 2?
Service Organization Control is an independent audit against a common standard of strict information security policies and procedures. In other words, it ensures that WP Engine has processes in place to meet the highest standards in customer data management and protection.
What does this mean for affiliates?
For potential customers, having completed a SOC 2 audit can be the decider in choosing one provider over another. This is especially attractive to security-conscious customers looking at larger plans types they need to trust their business with. For affiliates, larger plans equal greater commission. So incorporating SOC 2 into your promotions of WP Engine as a major selling point gives you more ammo to target these larger businesses, and in turn, increasing your earning potential.
You can update your evergreen promotions of WP Engine to call out SOC 2 or do a special announcement on your blog or social channels. Use your custom affiliate link below to our blog post on SOC 2 to read about this amazing milestone at WP Engine, and of course, use that link to promote WP Engine’s announcement in your own channels.
