customers that the company has designed and implemented effective
security controls, as defined in the SOC 2 standards. To receive an

service provider's system, the processing integrity of the system,
availability of the system, the privacy of personal information
that the service provider collects, retains, uses, discloses and
disposes of for user entities and the confidentiality of the
information that the service provider's system processes or
maintains for user entities.

the privacy and security of our platform and customers' data," said
Robert Coppola, Cision Chief
Information Officer. "At Cision, we are committed to continually
improving our security posture to protect customer data. Our
