Security breaches due to poor cybersecurity posture can cost upwards of $4.45 million, according to IBM\u2019s annual cost of data breach report from 2023. Customer data needs to be protected from unauthorized access and theft. SOC II audits don\u2019t just keep your data safe; they also give your company a competitive advantage \u2013 that’s why GPS Insight is SOC II certified.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We protect our customers\u2019 sensitive data with various security controls that meet the SOC II compliance checklist, meeting their high standards for security posture. While you\u2019re busy managing your fleet, we keep your private information safe and secure, so you don\u2019t have to worry about a breach.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”telematics cost breakdown” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ link_font=”||||on||||” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||-5px||false|false” custom_padding=”||15px|||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Service Organization Control Type 2 (SOC II) is a type of cybersecurity that complies with a specific framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SOC II compliance ensures the highest standard for information security for service providers across the globe.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n SOC II audits report on a company\u2019s data security to see if it meets the compliance framework with the established SOC II principles. SOC reports include SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3, though SOC 2 is the standard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n SOC II is all about meeting common criteria for protecting sensitive information and data processing. GPS Insight provides high-level data protection through our security practices and security measures.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”telematics cost breakdown” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ link_font=”||||on||||” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||-5px||false|false” custom_padding=”||15px|||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n So, what\u2019s so special about this framework?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Cybersecurity frameworks lay down the best practices for companies to follow to improve their security. Security frameworks typically include predefined protocols, and all companies using them must follow their established guidelines for a specified period of time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But SOC II framework uses criteria to uphold high standards of data security through principles, not protocols. With SOC II, the framework is designed to adjust in conjunction with the company. Every individual operating model will have their own security and data protection protocols.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To meet SOC II compliance, those protocols need to fall under the five trust service principles: security, confidentiality, availability, privacy, and processing integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”telematics cost breakdown” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ link_font=”||||on||||” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||-5px||false|false” custom_padding=”||15px|||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”telematics cost breakdown” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ link_font=”||||on||||” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||-5px||false|false” custom_padding=”||15px|||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The goal of SOC II compliance is to confirm that a company can store and process customer data securely. This is done via SOC II audits. When a company passes an audit, it proves that its customers\u2019 data and information is safe and secure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A SOC II certified provider is an attestation to their high-level security due to their risk assessment, risk management, and ability to securely store customer data.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”telematics cost breakdown” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ link_font=”||||on||||” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||-5px||false|false” custom_padding=”||15px|||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n SOC II compliance allows us to work with customers who require it and assures these customers that we meet all the trust service principles needed. Achieving SOC II compliance increases brand reputation and will give you and your clients confidence regarding the security of their data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When a company is SOC II certified, it means it\u2019s a company you can trust.
