Independent third-party audit validates the company’s controls for security, availability, and confidentiality as it scales nutrition therapy across all 50 states

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Berry Street, the nutrition therapy platform connecting patients to insurance-covered care from Registered Dietitians, today announced it has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, meeting a key security requirement for the health plans, health systems, and enterprise partners it serves.

Conducted by Johanson Group LLP, an independent third-party auditing firm, the SOC 2 Type II report evaluates the design and sustained operating effectiveness of a company’s controls over a defined observation period against the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria. Berry Street’s examination covered the Security trust services criteria over a three-month period ending June 2026, and was completed with no exceptions noted.

The milestone arrives as Berry Street expands its work with health plans, health systems, and enterprise partners serving patients nationwide. Nutrition therapy sits at the intersection of clinical care and personal data — spanning diagnoses, lab values, medications, and daily behavioral detail — and the certification gives the company’s partners independently verified assurance that this information is handled to a rigorous, continuously audited standard.

“Nutrition care only works when people feel safe being honest about their health,” said Noah Kotlove, Co-Founder and CEO of Berry Street. “Our patients share some of the most personal information there is, and our partners trust us with the populations they’re responsible for. SOC 2 Type II is how we prove that trust is well placed — not with a promise, but with an independent audit of how we actually operate every day. We hold ourselves to that standard because the people we serve deserve it.”

SOC 2 Type II complements Berry Street’s existing compliance program, including HIPAA compliance, encryption of data in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, continuous security monitoring, and annual penetration testing. The company will maintain its certification through recurring annual audits.

Berry Street’s SOC 2 Type II report is available to current and prospective partners under NDA. To learn more, visit www.berrystreet.co.

HERNDON, Va., Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Exostar, the leader in trusted, compliant, and secure business collaboration software for highly regulated industries, including aerospace and defense, life sciences, and healthcare, today announced that it is providing its secure environment building technology, based on Exostar Managed on Microsoft 365™, for Fujitsu Limited’s “Fujitsu Trusted Supplychain Service,” which Fujitsu is launching in Japan. This technology provision will enable organizations across Japan’s defense and critical infrastructure sectors to benefit from a secure environment, built with Exostar’s expertise, for collaboration, information sharing, and compliance support through the service offered by Fujitsu.

Cybersecurity mandates are converging across allied defense and critical infrastructure supply chains. In the United States, the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program establishes cybersecurity requirements for defense contractors handling controlled unclassified information (CUI). Built on NIST SP 800-171, CMMC provides the framework for protecting CUI across the Defense Industrial Base. In Japan, the Ministry of Defense and Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) have introduced information security requirements for defense suppliers that closely align with NIST 800-171 alongside the Economic Security Promotion Act of 2022. Multinational aerospace, defense, and critical-infrastructure supply chains now need a common trust layer that satisfies both regimes.

Exostar is responsible for building the secure Microsoft 365 environment within Fujitsu’s “Fujitsu Trusted Supplychain Service,” designed to protect sensitive information while simplifying collaboration across complex supplier ecosystems. This environment, built on Exostar Managed on Microsoft 365, provides a managed enclave, along with centralized identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, partner onboarding, information-sharing controls, and audit-ready activity logging.

This managed environment, constructed by Exostar, helps organizations strengthen security and streamline compliance efforts through a shared responsibility model. Customers can inherit many of the technical security controls provided by Exostar while maintaining responsibility for organizational requirements such as policies, training, personnel, and physical security. Sensitive information remains within the managed enclave rather than distributed across uncontrolled systems.

Exostar’s technology platform supports organizations within the U.S. Defense Industrial Base through a Microsoft GCC High enclave with FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency – proven in the most stringent U.S. defense environments. This proven technology, integrated into Fujitsu’s service operated on ISMAP-registered infrastructure in Japan, provides customers with data residency and in-country operation.

“We are honored to provide our secure MM365 environment building technology for Fujitsu’s ‘Fujitsu Trusted Supplychain Service,'” said Stuart Wilson, Senior Vice President, Product at Exostar. “Through our collaboration with Fujitsu, we are helping organizations in Japan address these defense and critical infrastructure challenges with a proven solution that combines secure collaboration, compliance support, and operational efficiency. This initiative reflects our commitment to strengthening supply chain security and enabling trusted collaboration across allied requirements.”

Exostar has collaborated with Fujitsu since 2019, when Fujitsu integrated Exostar’s secure collaboration and identity capabilities into its Fort# Forum offering to help Japanese suppliers protect controlled unclassified information in accordance with the NIST SP 800-171 standards. This latest technology provision for Fujitsu’s “Fujitsu Trusted Supplychain Service” builds on that foundation, extending a secure collaboration platform to a wider community of suppliers as cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve.

This initiative points to a broader shift in how allied nations secure their industrial bases. As the United States, Japan, and their allied partners raise the security bar for suppliers, multinational programs increasingly need solutions that enable secure collaboration without adding unnecessary complexity that travels across borders while respecting each nation’s data-residency requirements. Exostar’s platform—trusted by more than half of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base—and its integration with Fujitsu’s in-country infrastructure provide allied supply chains with a secure foundation for collaboration, information sharing, and compliance readiness.

The first APJ-based AI security partner to achieve this milestone

DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, a global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704), today announced it has surpassed $1 billion in global AWS Marketplace sales, becoming the first APJ-based AI security partner to achieve this milestone. For customers, it reflects making enterprise security simpler to buy – deployable against existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) committed spend, consolidated on a single AWS bill, and transacted through the channel Partners they already trust.

Simplifying Procurement
 In 2014, TrendAI™ became one of the first security Partners to adopt consumption-based billing. It supported the AWS launches of AWS Standard Contract, SaaS free trials, Pay-As-You-Go, and Buy With AWS. Today it supports integrations across more than 80 AWS services, holds 12 AWS Competencies and 5 field-engagement designations.

Built for the Channel
That same commitment extends to the channel. In 2018, TrendAI ™ was a design and launch Partner for AWS’s Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) – built specifically so Partners could transact through Marketplace instead of competing with it.

AI Security Leadership
Now, that same builder’s instinct meets a new reality: organizations are adopting AI faster than they can secure it. That demand is driving the next chapter of TrendAI™’s innovation:

Agentic AI Memory: Most AI security advisors forget the moment a session ends. TrendAI Vision One™ doesn’t. Powered by Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Neptune graph databases, its long – and short-term agentic memory turns every past interaction into a sharper recommendation – boosting answer quality and contextual threat response by 20%.Connected AI Threat Detection: No more isolated alerts. TrendAI Vision One™ correlates Amazon Bedrock activity – prompt injections, PII exposure, unsafe outputs – with signals across the entire AWS environment, turning scattered warnings into one connected attack story. Security teams catch compromised accounts and cross-service attacks before they escalate.AI Risk Visibility: Attackers don’t need a new exploit – a single missed guardrail will do. TrendAI Vision One™ gives security teams centralized visibility into every Amazon Bedrock deployment, hunting down misconfigurations, unauthorized model access, and missing guardrails before attackers find them first. Available directly through AWS Marketplace, without an added procurement cycle.

“TrendAI™ was one of the first technology partners AWS worked with to build AWS Marketplace from the ground up. Surpassing $1 billion in global Marketplace sales as our first APJ-based AI security partner to reach that level of adoption signals the depth of customer demand for AI security built into the platform they already run,” said Allison Johnson, Director, Americas Technology Partners Team. “As an exceptional design partner, TrendAI™ helped shape Marketplace capabilities like private offers, consulting partner private offers (CPPO), and consumption-based billing, tools that help customers procure and deploy security solutions faster. Today, TrendAI™ supports integrations across more than 80 AWS services, giving customers unified visibility across their cloud environments. That depth means organizations running AI workloads on AWS can secure them natively, without stitching together point solutions. It’s exactly the model we’re building on as we extend into AI security together.”

“Last year we rebuilt ourselves as TrendAI™, an AI-first security company, because we believe the next decade of security is about AI,” said Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™. “Customers are adopting AI faster than they can secure it. Our strong record of innovation gives us the foundation to change that – and help organizations adopt AI securely.” 

TrendAI’s AI security leadership rests on three non-negotiables:

Visibility: map every AI model, application, and agent across the enterprise, in real time. No blind spots, no shadow AI.Ownership: Secure identity, establish ownership, and manage
access for AI.Observability: correlate that activity with signals across the environment to catch AI-native attacks – prompt injection, data exfiltration, agent hijacking.Actionability: turn that insight into continuous, board-ready compliance against frameworks like NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act.

Know every AI tool in use. Stop AI-native attacks in real time. Prove every decision is risk-aligned and audit-ready. Behind it all is TrendAI Vision One™, the company’s enterprise cybersecurity platform – backed by market-leading threat and vulnerability research, including the TrendAI™ Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), the industry’s largest vendor-agnostic zero-day community.

“Buying through AWS Marketplace meant no separate procurement cycle and no big check upfront – it just landed on the AWS bill we already had,” said Tom Petkoff, Senior Network Manager, The Step2 Company. “We went from four dashboards and no single answer to one, covering AWS, our on-premises systems and the plant floor. With a team our size, that’s the difference between cleaning up after an incident and stopping the next one.” 

“Our customers want to buy security the same way they buy the rest of their cloud and AI: through AWS Marketplace, against spend they’ve already committed. Transacting TrendAI Vision One™ through CPPO lets us do exactly that while keeping the relationship and services with PacGenesis,” said Rasmus Pederson, SVP Cybersecurity, PacGenesis.”As customers race to secure their AI adoption, that combination matters more than ever.”

TrendAI™ has been recognized 9 times as an AWS Partner of the Year, including 2022 Global AWS Marketplace Partner of the Year and 2026 AWS Technology Partner of the Year for Asia Pacific and Japan – its second AWS Partner of the Year title in two years, following its 2025 EMEA win – and TrendAI™ employees have completed over 500 AWS certifications.

For organizations building what’s next, security teams can start today: TrendAI Vision One™ is available in AWS Marketplace with a 30-day free trial, deployable against existing AWS committed spend and consolidated on a single AWS bill.

About TrendAI™
TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. Trusted by the largest enterprises and governments across 185 countries, TrendAI™ secures the entire organization, from identities, to infrastructure, to data. Global Fortune 500 companies rely on TrendAI™ to cut risk and stop threats up to three months earlier, powered by world-leading threat and attack intelligence. AI Fearlessly.
