We are pleased to announce that Typo has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to security excellence and data protection. This certification reflects our dedication to implementing and maintaining the highest standards of security controls to protect our customers' valuable development data.
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that establishes comprehensive standards for managing customer data based on five "trust service criteria": security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
The distinction between Type I and Type II certification is substantial. While Type I examines whether a company's security controls are suitably designed at a specific point in time, Type II requires a more rigorous evaluation of these controls over an extended period—typically 6-12 months. This provides a more thorough verification that our security practices are not only well-designed but consistently operational.
For organizations relying on Typo's software engineering intelligence platform, this certification delivers several meaningful benefits:
The SOC 2 Type II report represents a comprehensive assessment of Typo's security infrastructure and practices. This independent verification covers several critical dimensions of our security program:
Achieving SOC 2 Type II certification required a comprehensive effort across our organization and consisted of several key phases:

This systematic gap analysis was essential for establishing a clear roadmap toward certification, particularly regarding our integration capabilities that connect with customers' sensitive development environments.
Based on our assessment findings, we implemented enhanced security measures across multiple domains:
A distinguishing feature of Type II certification is the requirement to demonstrate consistent adherence to security controls over time. This necessitated implementing robust monitoring systems and conducting regular internal audits to ensure sustained compliance with SOC 2 standards.
The final phase involved a thorough examination by an independent CPA firm, which conducted a comprehensive assessment of our security controls and their operational effectiveness over the specified period. Their verification confirmed our adherence to the rigorous standards required for SOC 2 Type II certification.
We understand that many organizations need to review our security practices as part of their vendor assessment process. To request our SOC 2 Type II report:

Dev teams hold great importance in the engineering organization. They are essential for building high-quality software products, fostering innovation, and driving the success of technology companies in today’s competitive market.
However, engineering leaders need to understand the bottlenecks holding them back. Since these blindspots can directly affect the projects. Hence, this is when software development analytics tools come to your rescue. And these analytics software stands better when they have various features and integrations, engineering leaders are usually looking out for.
Typo is an intelligent engineering platform that is used for gaining visibility, removing blockers, and maximizing developer effectiveness. Let’s know more about why engineering leaders prefer to choose Typo as their important tool:
Engineering metrics are the measurements of engineering outputs and processes. However, there isn’t a pre-defined set of metrics that the software development teams use to measure to ensure success. This depends on various factors including team size, the background of the team members, and so on.
Typo’s customized DORA (Deployment frequency, Change failure rate, Lead time, and Mean Time to Recover) key metrics and other engineering metrics can be configured in a single dashboard based on specific development processes. This helps benchmark the dev team’s performance and identifies real-time bottlenecks, sprint delays, and blocked PRs. With the user-friendly interface and tailored integrations, engineering leaders can get all the relevant data within minutes and drive continuous improvement.
Code review is all about improving the code quality. It improves the software teams’ productivity and streamlines the development process. However, when done manually, the code review process can be time-consuming and takes a lot of effort.
Typo’s automated code review tool auto-analyses codebase and pull requests to find issues and auto-generates fixes before it merges to master. It understands the context of your code and quickly finds and fixes any issues accurately, making pull requests easy and stress-free. It standardizes your code, reducing the risk of a software security breach and boosting maintainability, while also providing insights into code coverage and code complexity for thorough analysis.
While a burndown chart helps visually monitor teams’ work progress, it is time-consuming and doesn’t provide insights about the specific types of issues or tasks. Hence, it is always advisable to complement it with sprint analysis tools to provide additional insights tailored to agile project management.
Typo has an effective sprint analysis feature that tracks and analyzes the team’s progress throughout a sprint. It uses data from Git and the issue management tool to provide insights into getting insights on how much work has been completed, how much work is still in progress, and how much time is left in the sprint. This helps in identifying potential problems in the early stages, identifying areas where teams can be more efficient, and meeting deadlines.
When engineering metrics focus on individual success rather than team performance, it creates a sense of surveillance rather than support. This leads to decreased motivation, productivity, and trust among development teams. Hence, there are better ways to use the engineering metrics.
Typo has a metrics dashboard that focuses on the team’s health and performance. It lets engineering leaders compare the team’s results with what healthy benchmarks across industries look like and drive impactful initiatives for your team. Since it considers only the team’s goals, it lets team members work together and solve problems together. Hence, fosters a healthier and more productive work environment conducive to innovation and growth.
Measuring developer experience not only focuses on quantitative metrics but also requires qualitative feedback as well. By prioritizing the human side of team members and developer productivity, engineering managers can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for them.
Typo helps in getting a 360 view of the developer experience as it captures qualitative insights and provides an in-depth view of the real issues that need attention. With signals from work patterns and continuous AI-driven pulse check-ins on the experience of developers in the team, Typo helps with early indicators of their well-being and actionable insights on the areas that need your attention. It also tracks the work habits of developers across multiple activities, such as Commits, PRs, Reviews, Comments, Tasks, and Merges, over a certain period. If these patterns consistently exceed the average of other developers or violate predefined benchmarks, the system identifies them as being in the Burnout zone or at risk of burnout.
The more the tools can be integrated with software, the better it is for the software developers. It streamlines the development process, enforces standardization and consistency, and provides access to valuable resources and functionalities.
