CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA – Q-Free (OSE: QFR), a global leader in mobility solutions for smart city infrastructure, is proud to announce the receipt of a clean System and Organization Controls (SOC 2) Type II attestation report. The rigorous, independent audit of internal security controls validates Q-Free’s ongoing efforts to maintain the highest security standards for safely handling customer data.
“Data security is critical for SaaS and cloud-hosted applications. Adherence to the rigorous SOC 2 standards demonstrates the lengths Q-Free is willing to go to protect the public and our customers’ personal data. We believe we are the only ATMS vendor that has achieved this level of compliance for their cloud-based software.”
Mitchell Terry, Q-Free Director of Software Operations
Robust data security
A growing amount of data is collected, transmitted, or stored in advanced traffic management systems (ATMS). Ensuring that this data is safe is paramount for both Q-Free’s clients and the communities they serve – especially for cloud-based ATMS services, such as Q-Free’s Kinetic Mobility.
“Q-Free is driven from the top down to build smarter, safer communities in a secure and sustainable manner,” Terry added. “There is a large amount of user-related and internal data transferred and stored on ITS systems daily. Our proactive approach to data security and protection resulted in a clean audit without exceptions.”
Validation of data security practices
SOC 2 compliance is widely recognized as a robust criterion for cloud-based data security and protection. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 compliance requires service organizations to establish and maintain a comprehensive set of policies, procedures, and practices to protect customer data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction.
By achieving SOC 2 compliance, Q-Free assures its customers that their quality data is protected by industry-leading security measures and best practices.
