National managed service provider retains coveted SOC 2 Type II compliance, underscores security-first mindset
PLANO, Texas, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 20 MSP, a leading national provider of managed IT services, today announced the successful renewal of its Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II certification, conducted in accordance with standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
This milestone reaffirms the company’s continued commitment to data privacy and the implementation of world-class security controls to safeguard client information.
The 20 MSP renews SOC 2 Type II Certification
The SOC 2 Type II audit was conducted by Prescient Assurance, a leading independent third-party cybersecurity and compliance firm. Over an extended review period, Prescient performed a thorough and comprehensive examination of The 20’s internal controls, security protocols, and risk management practices.
The audit resulted in an unqualified opinion – the highest level of assurance possible under the SOC 2 framework – indicating that The 20 met or exceeded all required criteria without exceptions.
Established by the AICPA, SOC 2 is a trusted framework for assessing how service organizations handle sensitive data. It is based on five core trust service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy – and is widely regarded as the industry benchmark for information security practices.
As a national MSP serving clients across high-stakes industries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, The 20 prioritizes data security as a foundational pillar of its operations.
“Trust is essential to everything we do as an MSP, and data security is a building block of that trust,” said Ken Nix, Chief Information Security Officer at The 20. “That’s why we’re committed to not only protecting our clients’ sensitive information with the highest security standards, but also to demonstrating that commitment through transparent, rigorous compliance programs like SOC 2.”
With more than 40 acquisitions in the past three years, The 20 continues to grow at an aggressive pace – while maintaining the highest standards in security, compliance, and operational rigor. In scaling the business, the company is focused on ensuring that every new partner and client benefits from the same level of care, scrutiny, and protection.
“We’re growing fast, but we’re staying sharp,” explained Nix. “Rapid expansion isn’t a reason to relax standards. If anything, it’s a reason to tighten them. And rest assured, data protection isn’t a sidenote to our future growth plans; it’s at the very heart of them.”
