Managed Secureframe for Minnesota

Secureframe consultants for Minnesota companies: SOC 2, ISO 27001 and the Minnesota privacy act

Truvo Cyber offers managed Secureframe to companies in Minneapolis, Saint Paul and across Minnesota, delivered by our consultants in the US and Canada. Minnesota's privacy act also requires an inventory of the personal data a controller manages, which we build and maintain alongside your SOC 2 program. The full service is described on the managed Secureframe services page.

  • SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness inside the Secureframe account you own
  • Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act duties tracked as a custom framework
  • Data inventory, privacy policies and assessments kept current
  • Processor assessment reports ready for Minnesota customers who ask

Minnesota privacy and breach rules a Secureframe program should cover

The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (Minn. Stat. 325M.10 to 325M.21) took effect on July 31, 2025. Secureframe has no built-in Minnesota framework, so we load the act's duties as a custom framework and map them to the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls you already run.

Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act

  • Who it covers: companies that do business in Minnesota or target Minnesota residents and, in a calendar year, control or process personal data of 100,000 or more consumers (excluding data used only to complete a payment), or derive over 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data and handle data of 25,000 or more consumers. Businesses that count as small under SBA rules are exempt, except that they need consent before selling sensitive data.

  • Data inventory: controllers must maintain an inventory of the personal data they manage as part of their data security practices (325M.16). We build it as a register in Secureframe and review it alongside the asset inventory.

  • Written policies: controllers must document the policies and procedures they use to comply and name the person responsible for them (325M.18(a)).

  • Assessments: a documented data privacy and protection assessment is required for targeted advertising, selling personal data, processing sensitive data and higher-risk profiling (325M.18(b)).

  • Profiling: consumers can question the result of profiling that leads to legal or similarly significant decisions and learn the reason for the decision (325M.14).

  • Enforcement: the Attorney General enforces the act, with civil penalties of up to $7,500 per violation. The 30-day cure period expired on January 31, 2026.

Why Minnesota customers ask SaaS vendors for SOC 2

  • Processor assessments: a processor must allow reasonable assessments by the controller, or arrange an annual assessment by a qualified, independent assessor using an accepted control framework and give the controller the report on request (325M.13). A current SOC 2 report is the usual way to meet that request.

  • Processor contracts: the act requires a contract setting processing instructions, confidentiality duties and subcontractor approval. We keep those terms and your sub-processor list in your Secureframe trust center.

  • Breach notification: Minn. Stat. 325E.61 requires notice to affected Minnesota residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, and notice to the national consumer reporting agencies within 48 hours when more than 500 people are notified at once.

What changes in the first 90 days of managed Secureframe in Minnesota

One program for SOC 2 and state privacy

Privacy duties and security controls are tracked in the same Secureframe account, so a customer's privacy review and a SOC 2 audit use the same evidence.

Customer assessments get a fast answer

When a Minnesota customer asks for processor assessment evidence, the SOC 2 report and contract terms are ready to share.

The data inventory stays current

New systems and data flows are added to the inventory as integrations change.

The audit has a date

The audit window is booked against a readiness plan, and evidence builds through the period.

Questions about Secureframe consulting in Minnesota

Secureframe lists GDPR, CCPA and CPRA among its privacy frameworks, but no Minnesota framework. Secureframe supports custom frameworks, so we load the act's duties (data inventory, documented policies, data protection assessments, consumer rights and processor contracts) as a custom framework and map them to the SOC 2 controls you already run.

Minn. Stat. 325M.16 requires a controller's data security practices to include maintaining an inventory of the data it must manage to meet its obligations under the act. In practice that means a register of the personal data you hold, where it lives and why you process it, kept current as systems change.

It helps on the processor side. Minn. Stat. 325M.13 lets a processor arrange an annual assessment by a qualified, independent assessor using an accepted control framework, with the report given to the controller on request. A SOC 2 report from an independent CPA firm is a common way to meet that. SOC 2 does not cover the controller duties, such as consumer rights requests and data protection assessments, which need their own work.

July 31, 2025. Postsecondary institutions regulated by the Office of Higher Education have until July 31, 2029. The 30-day cure period for violations expired on January 31, 2026.

Yes. Truvo Cyber has Secureframe consultants in the US and Canada. Secureframe, your integrations and the audit firm's fieldwork all work online, and your security lead meets your team by video on a schedule set at kickoff.
