Bullhorn was one of the first companies to offer Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) which are certified in accordance with the SOC-1 Standard Occupational Classification system. Bullhorn was also one of the first SaaS companies (Software-as-a-Service) outside of the financial services industry to carry out security tests in accordance with the SSAE-16/18 framework. Bullhorn undergoes an SOC 1 Type 2 audit once a year that is conducted by an independent third party during which specific internal controls and processes are audited. Internal management structures (governance), production processes, change management, data security (backups) and software development processes are audited during the process.
