 **Highlights** 

 

*   To assure our customers and its employees' data is completely secure, we followed up our SOC 2 Type 1 certification from earlier this year to get certified as SOC 2 Type 2. This is the most sought-after security achievement in SaaS and certifies that our systems are up to the industry's highest standards. SOC 2 verifies that service providers, such as Sparrow, securely manage your data to protect your organization and the privacy of their clients. Sparrow's software is updated regularly to guarantee we are providing our customers with an incredible leave experience.
     
*   With HRIS integration, we are able to automatically import employee data securely and reliably from employers' HR systems. This means employee data does not have to be manually entered, greatly reduces the likelihood of mistakes and ensures employee data is up to date.
