Apicbase software meets the highest standards of data security, privacy, reliability, and operational excellence.
Maintaining data security across numerous locations is a significant concern for IT leaders in multi-unit restaurants and large-scale catering. Apicbase’s SOC II, Type 2 Compliance, directly tackles this issue.
The compliance report assures that Apicbase has effective, proven systems for data protection, providing our customers with a reliable and secure data management solution for complex restaurant operations.
Apicbase works with some of the biggest companies in the restaurant industry. Compliance isn’t just about following rules; it’s about earning trust and maintaining a secure, fair environment for everyone.
SOC II, Type 2 is a certification developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that sets the highest standard for how companies manage and secure customer data.
SOC stands for Service Organization Control. It’s a set of criteria designed to help service organisations, like cloud-based (SaaS) software companies, establish and follow strict information security policies and procedures.
SOC II is based on five “trust service principles”:
Security,
Availability,
Processing integrity,
Confidentiality, and
Privacy.
These principles ensure that a system is secure, available as promised, processes data accurately, keeps confidential information protected, and maintains the privacy of personal information.
There are two types of SOC II reports:
Type 1 focuses on the suitability of a company’s system design at a specific point in time
Type 2 goes further. It assesses the operational effectiveness of those systems over a period, typically six months or more. This means that a company with SOC II, Type 2 compliance not only has good security practices in place but also consistently applies these practices over time.
We chose Apicbase because it is a SaaS solution that thinks with us in solving complex business challenges. It’s a strong partnership.
