9 September, 2025, Paris – Horizon Trading Solutions (Horizon), a leading global provider of multi-asset electronic trading technology, today announced its successful completion of System and Organization Controls (SOC) for Services Organizations (SOC 2®) Type 2 examination as of June 30, 2025 for their services, especially their Managed Services.
Horizon had previously achieved SOC 2 compliance, but renewing the audit ensures it remains up to date and aligned with evolving policies and procedures as the company grows. Conducted by A-LIGN from March 1, 2024, to April 20, 2025, the audit reviewed controls across security, IT penetration testing, processes, and documentation. Horizon successfully received its SOC 2 Type 2 report without any noted exceptions.
Olivier Masdebrieu, Chief Technology Officer at Horizon Trading Solutions, said:
“We are proud to have successfully renewed this demanding international certification, a recognition of our ongoing commitment to delivering reliable services with the highest level of security to our clients, especially within our managed services offering.”
Bruno Lefebvre, Head of Data & Automation at Horizon Trading Solutions, added:
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 certification once again demonstrates our sustained focus on security and business continuity. It reflects the hard work and dedication of all our teams and reinforces our clients’ confidence in the robustness of our solutions.”
Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.
“Congratulations to Horizon for completing their SOC 2 audit, a widely recognized signal of trust and security,” said Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN. “It’s great to work with organizations like Horizon, who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report.”
This certification demonstrates Horizon’s continued commitment to compliance and assures customers with the confidence that required safeguards are in place to protect their data.
