In today’s awards landscape, trust is everything. Participants, jurors, and audiences all expect a process that is not only fair but also secure, transparent, and accessible. As stakes continue to rise, awards administrators must ensure that their platforms and procedures meet the highest standards of compliance and data integrity.
At Yangaroo Awards, we’ve built a platform that not only facilitates seamless submissions and judging workflows, but also aligns with the security and compliance needs of the world’s most respected shows.
A Platform You Can Trust: SOC 2 and TPN Certified
Yangaroo Awards is both SOC 2 Type I compliant and certified by the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) — the gold standards for digital media security and content protection. These certifications reflect our ongoing commitment to secure system design, data handling practices, and rigorous audit readiness.
This means:
- All login activity and data transfers are encrypted and logged
- Users can authenticate with secure credentials, including optional two-factor or magic-link logins
- Administrative access is permission-based and fully auditable
Security isn’t just a feature — it’s a foundational pillar of our platform.
Compliance That Goes Beyond Security
While technical security is critical, procedural transparency and data quality are just as important when it comes to protecting the integrity of your award show.
Yangaroo works closely with major auditing firms such as Deloitte, EY, and PwC, as well as trusted boutique firms, to ensure every step of the submission and voting process is verifiable, consistent, and free from tampering or error.
Here’s how we ensure accuracy throughout:
- Real-time data validation at the point of submission
- Comprehensive audit trails of submission edits and votes cast
- Ballot session reconstruction, for full traceability of the judging process
- Secure storage and retrieval of voting data with time stamps and participant logs
We don’t just collect data — we treat it as critical infrastructure, monitored and protected every step of the way.
Empowering Participation Through Transparency
Compliance isn’t only about what happens behind the scenes. It’s also about ensuring users — from submitters to jurors — understand the importance of their role in a secure and equitable process.
That’s why Yangaroo:
- Encourages secure login and usage practices for all participants
- Supports media review tracking to ensure judges meet viewing requirements
- Offers direct communication tools to keep users informed and accountable
- Helps organizations define and implement clear rules of engagement for submissions, evaluations, and voting
When everyone follows the same standards and expectations, you create results that can be respected and defended.
