Metis Genetics offers a custom yet affordable web-based solution for expert genetic counseling that allows our partners to focus on their core business, and gives patients convenient access to genetic counseling. Our team has provided expert remote genetic counseling services to over 60,000 patients for the past five years, and now Metis has achieved the unique status of SOC2 certification for Genetics Maven™, our web-based telegenetic portal.

SOC2 (System and Organizational Control) is an auditing process examining inter-business relationships. SOC2 principles focus on service organizations. An SOC2 audit addresses external interactions that could affect internal or customer data security. This type of audit was developed as a way to encourage the implementation and oversight of proper security procedures. An SOC2 report focuses on the five Trust Service Criteria (TSC) principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, as illustrated in the diagram below.¹

Metis underwent this audit from September 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020 and achieved SOC2 certification as a result of this process. We are thrilled to share this distinctive accomplishment with our clients, as the only telegenetic counseling platform that has been granted this certification.

Metis believes that SOC2 certification provides tangible evidence of our strong commitment to our company values, which are:

• Highest Quality of Care

• Innovative and Clinically Appropriate Use of Technology

• Commitment to Healthcare Parity

• Responsible Stewardship of Resources

• Integrity with Experience
