Indianapolis, IN August 2025 – Intrepid Finance is taking major steps to ensure leading-edge information security and ethical artificial intelligence management by launching efforts toward SOC 2 certification and ISO 42001 compliance, the global standard for artificial intelligence management systems. SOC 2 is a leading industry standard for securing and managing customer data, and ISO 42001 is the global benchmark for responsible artificial intelligence management. These initiatives reflect the company’s strong commitment to best practices in data security, client trust, and responsible tech adoption.

To lead the charge in compliance and innovation, Intrepid has engaged Alvin Givens, an industry-leading executive with over two decades of experience bridging finance and technology. His expertise in payments, risk and compliance, and partnership management is steering Intrepid’s successful implementation of rigorous industry standards.

“With our rapid growth and dedication to efficiently provide businesses access to capital, it is essential to stay ahead of compliance and security,” said Steve Iskander, CEO and Founder of Intrepid. “We excel in providing business capital, and our growing investment in modern technology allows us to further securely streamline the funding process for Intrepid and its funding partners. As the Intrepid Tech Platform continues to evolve, staying ahead of compliance is a key differentiator and competitive advantage to its continued growth. Collaborating with Alvin Givens and pursuing both SOC 2 and ISO 42001 reflects our focus on responsible innovation and our rigorous commitment to ethical AI and data security. Ultimately, these efforts show our determination to build trust and deliver value for clients nationwide.”
