april expands enterprise-grade compliance capabilities with SOC 1 certification

We’re proud to announce that april has achieved its SOC 1 certification - our latest milestone in building a platform that financial institutions can trust.

This certification builds on our long-term commitment to, and investment in, achieving the highest standards for compliance and security. april is already SOC 2 Type 2 certified, demonstrating that our cybersecurity controls operate effectively over time. We also maintain TRUSTe certification, reinforcing our dedication to responsible data privacy practices. Together, these efforts reflect a consistent approach: embedding trust directly into our systems, not layering it on after the fact.

SOC 1 is a critical standard for financial technology companies like april that build systems impacting financial reporting. Thoropass audited april to confirm that our controls are properly designed to ensure financial data is processed accurately, completely, and consistently. Achieving this certification means our partners can be confident that our infrastructure supports reliable financial outcomes and stands up to audit scrutiny.

“april has demonstrated a strong commitment to building a controlled environment that meets the expectations of financial institutions and their auditors,” says Austin Newcomer, Senior Manager InfoSec Solutions at Thoropass. “Their approach to compliance reflects both rigor and scalability.”

As a tax infrastructure provider, april operates in one of the most sensitive areas of fintech. Our platform handles deeply personal financial data. Unlike bolt-on solutions that rely on multiple third parties, april’s core filing workflow is built natively, which reduces data movement, simplifies audit trails, and gives our partners greater control and transparency.

We will continue to invest in the controls, processes, and certifications that enable our partners to scale confidently, exceed regulatory expectations, and deliver secure financial experiences to their customers.
