Secure Engineering Analytics Platform Achieves SOC 2 Compliance – HackerPulse

Protecting sensitive engineering data is no longer optional—it’s expected. That’s why HackerPulse, a platform that helps engineering leaders understand team performance, has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance. This certification confirms that the company’s systems and processes meet strict requirements for managing sensitive information.

As more companies rely on tools to understand how their engineering teams work, ensuring data is protected has become a top concern. With this certification, HackerPulse proves it can keep customer data safe while continuing to provide clear and helpful insights into software development workflows.

Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized framework created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how a company handles data based on five key areas: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Achieving SOC 2 compliance means that the HackerPulse platform and internal processes have passed a detailed audit. The review looked at how data is stored, who has access to it, how issues are handled, and how systems are monitored for threats. This isn’t just a one-time event—it reflects an ongoing commitment to high standards.

“We take customer trust seriously,” said Gleb Braverman, co-founder of HackerPulse. “Reaching SOC 2 compliance is an important step in showing that we’re ready to support engineering teams at all levels—especially those in industries where security and privacy matter most.”

Helping Engineering Leaders Make Better Decisions

How HackerPulse works? HackerPulse gives CTOs, engineering managers, and team leads a clear view of how their teams are working. Instead of relying on scattered tools like Jira, GitHub, and Confluence, HackerPulse pulls information from across a company’s software stack and puts it in one place.

Leaders can see things like:

• How often code is deployed
• How long it takes to ship features
• Where bottlenecks are slowing down progress
• Whether team members are balanced in terms of workload

These insights help managers understand not just how much work is getting done, but how it’s being done—and how to improve it.

Why Now?

The move to remote and hybrid work has changed how teams operate. Many companies are still figuring out the best way to support their developers while making sure business goals are met. Visibility into workflows has become harder. At the same time, security concerns have grown, especially when working across time zones, tools, and networks.

With this new compliance certification, HackerPulse positions itself as a secure option for organizations looking to better understand engineering performance without compromising on data protection.

“As companies grow, they often lose track of what’s happening on the engineering side,” said Alberto Scherb, co-founder of HackerPulse. “SOC 2 compliance shows our customers they can trust us with their data, while still getting clear insights to help their teams do better work.”

Built for Growing Engineering Teams

HackerPulse was created after dozens of interviews with engineering leaders from companies like Uber, Carta, and Google. A common theme kept coming up: they lacked the right tools to understand their teams. Existing analytics often provided raw data but lacked context.

HackerPulse focuses on practical metrics. The dashboard is built with input from real engineering leaders and helps answer questions like:

• Are we shipping code too slowly?
• Are certain team members doing too much or too little?
• Is process getting in the way of delivery?

Security From the Start

To reach SOC 2 compliance, HackerPulse worked with an independent auditor who tested the platform’s internal systems over several months. This included:

• Role-based access control (who can see what)
• Regular vulnerability scans and updates
• Employee training on privacy and data handling
• Strong encryption for data both in transit and at rest
• Detailed logging and monitoring of platform usage

“Security isn’t just a checklist. It’s part of how we build,” said Scherb. “Whether you’re a startup or a large enterprise, you deserve tools that respect and protect your data.”

Working With Companies Worldwide

HackerPulse is already in use by several fast-growing companies, including:

• Preply
• Coverflex
• Terminal Industries
• DiscoverCars

These teams use HackerPulse to help spot issues early, keep projects moving, and make better decisions about hiring, structure, and process.

What’s Next

Now that SOC 2 compliance is in place, HackerPulse plans to continue improving its analytics engine, with new features in the works such as:

• Deeper integration with project management tools
• Alerts for unusual patterns or drops in team output
• Expanded dashboards for cross-team reporting

About HackerPulse

HackerPulse was founded by Alberto Scherb (previously at Apple and Nest, acquired by Google for $3.2 billion) and Gleb Braverman (a two-time founder and former Lambda School mentor). After seeing how hard it was for engineering leaders to get the full picture of their teams’ performance, they built HackerPulse to change that.

By combining clean data with a simple interface and strong security, HackerPulse helps teams of all sizes understand what’s working, what isn’t, and how to improve.
