As companies increasingly rely on digital signage and workplace communication systems to engage employees and customers, the need for robust security measures has never been more critical. Countless pieces of company data are processed on these platforms every day, and companies need to know that information is secure. Korbyt understands this necessity, and we are proud to announce our successful completion of the SOC 2 Type II audit for the third consecutive year. This attestation underscores our unwavering commitment to data security, allowing our customers to get work done knowing Korbyt has their back.
Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters
A SOC 2 audit is more than just checking a box—it’s a rigorous process that ensures a company’s information security practices meet the highest industry standards. Protecting your business from hackers is vital to your continued success since businesses of all sizes continue to fall victim to cyberattacks—data breaches increased by 20% from 2022 to 2023.
For Korbyt, achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance is a testament to our long-term dedication to safeguarding our customers’ data. It assures our customers that their information is protected by robust security controls designed to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
“In an era when data breaches and cyber threats are on the rise, maintaining SOC 2 compliance is non-negotiable,” said Korbyt CEO Ankur Ahlowalia. “It reflects our commitment to providing our customers with a secure, reliable platform they can trust.”
The Importance of Working with SOC 2–Compliant Vendors
For businesses, the implications of SOC 2 compliance go beyond protection from isolated security breaches—it’s about overall trust, reliability, and risk reduction. Korbyt’s SOC 2 Type II audit—conducted by certified public accounting firm KirkpatrickPrice—independently validates our security practices. Our customers can confidently scale their operations knowing the data that Korbyt processes is in safe hands.
“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “Korbyt delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on Korbyt’s controls.”
Partnering with a non-compliant vendor can expose businesses to significant risks, including data breaches, regulatory fines, and reputational damage. Knowing your software and services partners are SOC 2 compliant provides a safeguard against these risks. In Korbyt’s case, our customers are not only investing in a powerful digital signage and workplace communications solution but also in a secure and reliable partner that prioritizes their data’s safety.
“Our SOC 2 compliance is a reflection of the stringent security protocols we have in place. Although the audit happens only once a year, we’re dedicated to security every day,” said George Clopp, Korbyt’s CTO. “That’s what this attestation from KirkpatrickPrice shows.”
Korbyt’s Security Practices: An Ongoing Commitment
Achieving SOC 2 compliance is not a one-time accomplishment; it’s an ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest security standards. At Korbyt, we’ve implemented a comprehensive set of security practices and protocols to protect our customers’ data at every level.
- Hosting and Encryption: Korbyt ensures secure data transmission through TLS 1.2 SSL (HTTPS), and stored data is encrypted at rest using AES256. This dual-layer encryption protects data both in transit and at rest, ensuring that unauthorized access is virtually impossible.
- Redundancy and Data Segmentation: Our distributed data centers across multiple zones and geographic regions guarantee high availability and resilience. Additionally, customer data is segregated in individual tenant databases through subdomain routing and OAUTH tokens, preventing any co-mingling of data.
- Access Control and Security: We enforce strict access controls, requiring secure access for office entry and limiting physical data center access to approved employees only. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas and information.
- Platform Security: Our software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes adhere to industry-recognized standards, and all employees undergo annual information security training. We also employ a principle of least privilege, granting employees only the access necessary to perform their roles.
- Breach Prevention and Threat Detection: Korbyt offers multi-factor authentication (MFA) for added security when logging into our platform. Our platform also supports role-based access control (RBAC), allowing administrators to define different access levels for various user roles. Our security team monitors the platform around the clock, employing intrusion detection systems to identify and evaluate threats in real time.
These practices form the backbone of Korbyt’s security strategy, ensuring customer data is always protected.
