Spot Enhances Client Trust with SOC 2 Type 2 Attestation Achievement

Spot Attains SOC 2 Type 2 Certification, Boosting Data Management Trust

Spot, a prominent third-party logistics provider in North America, proudly announced its successful achievement of the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 attestation. This accomplishment underscores Spot’s dedication to ensuring the protection of sensitive client information amidst the increasing demands for safety and data integrity in today’s logistics landscape.

The SOC 2 Type 2 report was derived from a comprehensive examination executed by Katz, Sapper & Miller, an independent service auditor. The assessment was structured based on the regulations set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This rigorous audit scrutinized Spot’s information security policies, procedures, and practices, ensuring compliance with the Statement of Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) 21 standards. Notably, it evaluated both the design and operational effectiveness of the company's controls in alignment with established Trust Services Criteria, specifically regarding security and availability.

Andy Schenck, Co-Founder of Spot, emphasized the importance of security, stating, "We view security not just as a requirement, but as a core value that underscores the trust our customers place in us every day." He expressed pride in the company’s latest achievement reiterating Spot’s ongoing commitment to protecting client information while prioritizing data integrity.

Further supporting this achievement, Ben Garvin, Director of Technology at Spot, remarked, "This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operational security. It gives our customers greater confidence that our controls aren't just in place, but they are working as intended, every day."

As a customer-centric organization, Spot understands the critical importance of safeguarding sensitive information. The company’s future strategies include continued enhancements in data security protocols, focusing on innovative technology solutions to stay ahead of the security curve in logistics.
