Claravine Strengthens Commitment to Data Integrity by Achieving SOC 2 Type II Compliance

Claravine

Claravine, a pioneer in data integrity with its platform, The Data Standards Cloud, announced that it has completed its SOC 2® Type II compliance examination. Achieving SOC 2 compliance is a significant milestone for Claravine, as it demonstrates the company's commitment to the industry's highest standards for managing data. Claravine successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit and received its compliance certification just one year after the company attained its SOC 2 Type I certification. SOC 2 Type II is a step beyond SOC 2 Type I in that it describes the internal control policies an organization has in place at a single point in time and describes their suitability, as well as tests those over time, typically a 12-month period. A rigorous compliance standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is designed to specify how organizations should manage customer data. Through the process an organization's internal controls for privacy and information security are examined, assessing compliance at a specific point in time. SOC 2 compliance certification is recognized globally for its rigor in the review of organizations’ systems and controls. It affirms that Claravine’s practices, policies, procedures and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security and data protection. Founded in 2012, Claravine empowers a proactive approach to data by activating standards across people and technology – bridging the silos that limit speed and decisions. The company has forged successful partnerships with well-known Fortune 1000 companies such as Under Armour and Ancestry and is currently working with a quarter of the Fortune 100. With a collaborative user interface and strategic integrations with top customer experience platforms such as Adobe and Google, The Data Standards Cloud helps global organizations define, apply and connect standards across their ecosystem for faster decisions, greater agility and increased ROI. "From our start, we’ve been focused on building credibility with our clients by investing in our people and technology and holding ourselves to the highest standards in data integrity,” said Verl Allen, CEO, of Claravine. “We know that our audience relies on trusted third-party reports to supplement their own research when considering technology investments. This is why we are committed to enlisting independent testing and auditors like SOC 2 to demonstrate how our Data Standards Cloud can be fully trusted.” In addition to achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance, Claravine is having a landmark year with milestones including an additional $16 million in Series B funding, hiring an influx of new engineers and being named a “Momentum Leader” and “High Performer” in the Spring 2022 G2 Rankings. Claravine is on track to meet its ambitious growth goal of doubling its revenue this year, accelerating product development, and investing in its integrations to automate data standards across digital experiences. About Claravine Claravine is a pioneer in data integrity for the global enterprise. We empower a proactive approach to data by activating standards across people and technology, bridging the silos that limit speed and decisions across digital experiences. That’s why a quarter of the Fortune 100 use our platform, The Data Standards Cloud, to define, apply and connect standards across their ecosystem for faster decisions, greater agility, and increased ROI.

About SOC2 Compliance Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 is an IT auditing program developed by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) to evaluate the systems, policies and controls an organization uses to process data and to verify the suitability of this design and ensure security protocols are in place to protect the data. SOC 2 is the industry gold standard for data security and has become a requirement for vendors working with large enterprises. SOC 2 provides a means by which companies are able to certify that their vendors meet their own corporate governance and risk management requirements.

Telland Releases First of Its Kind Farmland NFTs on Telos Blockchain

Telos Foundation

The mint is currently underway on Telos EVM providing users with a unique opportunity to own collectable artistic NFTs representing access to yields from 100 square meters of physical land within the Proyecto Ecológico Nuestro Paraíso in the Northwestern region of Piura, Peru, South America. However, the use-case of Telland NFTs goes far beyond simple ownership. These land plots will contribute to the growth of local farmers' sustainable organic produce and a more robust economy in the region. Perpetual Rewards for Holders Users that mint one or more Telland NFTs will receive annual rewards in perpetuity, financially backed by the revenue generated from the South American farmland. Currently there are only 100 NFT parcels of land priced at $150 USD in TLOS tokens each available to mint. The rewards payment breakdown is as follows: Year 1 of ownership - Holder receives minimum guarantee of $30 (20% APR on NFT mint price) Year 2 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $50 (33% APR on NFT mint price) Year 3 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $75 (50% APR on NFT mint price). This minimum continues perpetually from year 3 onwards. The collection debuts at an ideal moment as accumulating land ownership is more challenging for millennials today than at any other time in our history. Furthermore, Telland NFTs offers holders a chance to generate passive revenue from a real-world asset that benefits the environment while omitting painstaking bureaucratic processes and paperwork. Telland is also a participant in the Telos Mission NFT contest, which offers NFT creators a chance to win substantial prize money and acclaim in the NFT community. The contest has over 60 submissions to date and Telland's participation provides yet another opportunity for value increase in the event Telland is announced a winner. Public voting begins on July 23, 2002, on the TaiKai Network. "We chose Telos primarily for two factors: the community and the technology. The vision of the founders of Telos was to create a community around the ideas of service to society and care for the environment. Telland wants to do just that by converting arid lands into farmlands that produce fruits with a high nutritional content that help the well-being of humanity. In terms of technology, the ease of creating and deploying smart contracts in the Telos EVM, the incredible speed and low cost of transactions was such that the decision to build on their network was simple." -Paul Gonzales, Telland Co-founder "Telland is an amazing example of real-world application of NFTs and a glimpse at the future of tokenised land and real estate. At $150 an NFT, these prove to be a very interesting way to gain exposure to the value of real estate. The idea of being able to buy and trade land rights with such ease is magical to anyone who has had the pleasure of making a traditional real estate purchase where the process is incredibly slow (taking 2-4 weeks) and requiring middle men and costly fees" -Justin Giudici, Telos Foundation CEO About Telos Live since 2018, Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is an ESG compliant Layer 1 smart contract platform that offers full-service compatibility with Solidity, Vyper and Native C++ smart contracts. The Telos EVM is the most powerful and scalable Ethereum Smart Contract platform built to power Web 3.0. Telos features a robust, third-generation, ESG compliant evolutionary blockchain governance system, including smart contracts, advanced voting features, and flexible and user-friendly fee models.

Single mother, small business owner and sneaker enthusiast, Rochelle Sullivan, takes viewers in and around her hometown of Lyman, a small mill town outside of Greenville, South Carolina and reveals her favorite spots and impressive sneaker collection. “Sneakerheads can’t be categorized as one type of person, they are unique and inspiring individuals connected by their affinity for sneaker culture,” said Sarah Sharp-Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett.

We are grateful to the characters who are willing to talk to us and share their personal journey.” “I started collecting when I was about 12 because my brother was a high school athlete and I was drawn to all the cool sneakers the players wore at his games,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I was then determined to save my allowance to purchase cool sneakers. I have passed the passion along to my 10-year-old son, Weston, who has been wearing all types of sneakers since day one. I love to include him in my hunt for new releases, take him back-to-school sneaker shopping locally and to sneaker conventions.” In the new episode of Small-Town Sneakerhead, Sullivan and her son lead cameras around to visit some of her favorite eateries and spots in and around Lyman.

Female-Led Wellness & Beauty Brand Unveils Bold, New Brand Look and Inspiring Tagline

Reserveage

Reserveage, French-inspired beauty supplement and skincare brand, has relaunched today with an eye-catching, bold, new brand look. The goal is to better reflect their mission to provide women of all ages and backgrounds with science-backed, proven products that support radiant health, well-being, and natural beauty—inside and out. With self-care as a starting point, Reserveage is redefining their approach to beauty with a holistic mindset, a purpose-filled vision, and product innovation driven by the evolving needs of women through every age and stage of their life. “Last year, we took a step back to focus on awareness studies and macro trends happening within the health and beauty space,” says Yamit Sadok, Senior Director of Marketing. “Our major takeaways were that we must meet women where they are and continue to make a fundamental shift from anti-aging to pro-aging and from an industry-driven aspirational beauty ideal to a personal ideal where women define beauty for themselves.” As part of this new direction, Reserveage charged a renowned female photographer and notable female artist to create new packaging that represents a more inclusive, broader definition of beauty, as well as the idea that beauty, wellness, and self-care are inextricably linked. Rising to the challenge, they combined a vibrant color palette with real floral photography to capture the spirit and essence of a bold, modern woman—her individuality, growth, and multi-faceted beauty. This female-driven campaign was created by women for women, which is reflected in the elevated packaging design, as well as the overarching message that beauty itself—and the products that help a woman achieve it—begin from within. In addition to the new packaging, the brand will launch a new digital and influencer campaign, website, and tagline to ensure its core consumer feels represented, understood, supported, and inspired. “We truly are a company that believes beauty doesn’t have a time limit and that what makes a woman unique is also what makes her beautiful,” says Sadok. “Our new brand look and tagline ‘Believe in your beauty. We do.’ embodies this belief and inspires women to believe it too.” The new campaign has started to rollout across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, as well as print ads, broadcast media advertisements, and in-store takeovers at select retailers this year. Consumers can now see the new packaging available for purchase on Reserveage’s website, Amazon, Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, Natural Grocers, CVS Pharmacy, Vitacost, IHerb, and soon at key retailers including King Soopers, Ingles, Raley’s, Publix Green wise locations and more. For more information visit Reserveage.com/new look or follow-on Instagram @reserveagenutrition. About Reserveage: Founded and run by woman, Reserveage is a leading wellness and beauty brand. Their name combines the words “reserve” and “age” to highlight one of their flagship supplement ingredients, resveratrol, a compound found in red wine that helps women to stay healthier for longer. They are category pioneers in the supplement space with three number one selling brands, including resveratrol, collagen, and keratin. With the addition of a new skincare line featuring a proprietary microencapsulated copper peptide technology that promotes the appearance of collagen-rich skin, they have established a complete self-care system that supports beauty, health, and well-being from the inside-out and outside in. Reserveage brings every product to market with science-backed results— ensuring high-quality, proven products that help women of all ages to look and feel radiantly healthy, inside, and out.
