Theralytics Confirms Strong Data Controls After Completing SOC 2 Type II Audit

Audit completed and what it means in plain terms

Theralytics announced that it has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit, a multi-month examination of how the company handles data and runs its systems. The audit looked at the company’s actual practices over time, rather than a one-time checklist. For customers — many of them autism therapy clinics and behavioral-health practices that use Theralytics’ software — the news is meant to reduce worries about how patient information is stored, accessed and protected.

The announcement is primarily about trust and proof. A SOC 2 Type II report doesn’t make a company invulnerable, but it shows that an independent auditor watched how Theralytics operated its systems over a sustained period and found the firm’s controls to be functioning as claimed.

What a SOC 2 Type II examination looks at and why it matters

SOC 2 is an auditing standard focused on information security and privacy practices. A Type I report captures controls at a single point in time. A Type II goes further: an auditor checks the same controls repeatedly over several months to make sure they actually work in daily practice.

The scope of a Type II exam can vary by company, but it commonly covers areas such as access controls (who can get into systems), change management (how software updates and fixes are handled), system monitoring (how problems are detected), data backup and recovery, and data transmission protections. The auditor tests both the design of those controls and whether they were followed during the review period.

For Theralytics, the audit reportedly covered the systems that support its therapy-management platform, including processes that protect patient records and the mechanisms that control employee access. That means the auditor didn’t just review policies on paper; it tested logs, change tickets and other records to see whether the company followed its rules in practice.

What customers should expect to change — practically speaking

For therapy clinics and other users of Theralytics’ software, the SOC 2 Type II report translates into clearer evidence that their vendor takes security seriously. Practically, customers can expect two immediate effects.

First, clinics that need to satisfy regulators, payers, or partner organizations about their vendors’ security posture will have a formal report they can reference during vendor reviews. That can speed approval processes for new software and ease procurement hurdles.

Second, the controls exercised during the audit — things like stricter account access rules, clearer incident logging, and tested backup procedures — reduce the everyday risk of accidental data exposure or loss. It doesn’t eliminate all risk, but it lowers the odds of errors caused by weak processes.

Still, a SOC 2 Type II report is not a guarantee. It’s a snapshot of the period reviewed. New features, personnel changes, or different threat patterns can create gaps after the audit period ends, so ongoing diligence by the vendor and its customers remains important.

A quick look at Theralytics and where this fits

Theralytics builds software used by applied behavior analysis (ABA) clinics and other behavioral-health providers to track sessions, outcomes, billing and therapy plans. The company operates in a niche where records are highly sensitive and regulators and payers increasingly demand proof of solid data handling.

In that market, security certifications and audits are often table stakes. Smaller vendors without strong controls can find themselves shut out of contracts or slowed down by extra review steps. For Theralytics, the SOC 2 Type II completion positions it alongside larger competitors that already provide formal evidence of operational controls.

Company comments, outside perspective and what comes next

Theralytics framed the audit completion as a milestone in its work to professionalize operations and reassure customers. The company said the audit validates controls it has put in place and that it will continue to refine its processes.

Security consultants note that a Type II report is valuable because it proves controls work over time, but they also advise regular re-evaluation. In practice that means Theralytics will likely schedule periodic re-audits, continue internal monitoring, and keep updating controls as its platform grows and regulatory expectations shift.

For customers, the next steps are straightforward: request the SOC 2 Type II report or a summary from Theralytics during contract talks, confirm that the audit’s scope covers the services you plan to use, and note any areas the audit excluded. For Theralytics, maintaining and extending these controls — and repeating the Type II audit in future periods — will be important to sustain trust as the company expands.
