CHICAGO — project44®, the global leader in supply chain visibility for shippers and logistics service providers (LSP), today announced successful completion of the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit to support the company’s robust security program. 

Conducted by risk management and advisory firm The Cadence Group, the audit validates project44’s ability to implement critical security policies and adhere to compliance over an extended period of time. 

SOC 2 Type II is a security standard recognized by many large enterprises globally. It affirms that a certified company’s practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for Security and Availability Trust Services Principles. 

A recent report by project44 found that 80% of supply chains say the Delivery Economy has increased the amount of data they manage and store. In comparison, 82% of customers feel companies need to do more to protect the security of their data. 

Committed to serving the needs of an entire transportation ecosystem, project44 has built comprehensive policies, practices, and controls to maintain the security and protection of customer and partner data as well as the project44’s platform and infrastructure. 

In today’s world, data privacy and security are imperative to every customer experience. The completion of SOC 2 Type II audit provides our entire ecosystem with assurance that we take our data security program seriously,” said Will Hansmann, Chief Technology Officer at project44. Our customers need to know their data is safe so they can focus on serving the world’s largest brands as well as consumers around the globe.”
