SOC 2 certification is a critical compliance requirement for payroll vendors like Paycom. ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available. Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.

FedRAMP authorization is relevant for government contractors evaluating payroll platforms. Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Paycom is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.

Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly payroll platforms like Paycom that handle employee SSN, bank account, and tax data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.

Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for payroll vendors. ThirdProof screens Paycom against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Paycom or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.

Assessing Paycom as a payroll vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and data privacy regulations compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure.
