Extensiv (formerly 3PL Central) — delivering omnichannel software solutions for warehouse, inventory, and order management — announced completion of the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II compliance. SOC 2 is considered the premier data security standard for protecting data from unauthorized access for Software as a Service (SaaS) providers. The third-party audit verifies the effectiveness of the internal controls and security protocols used by Extensiv to manage customer data based on the applicable Trust Services Criteria (TSC), including Security, Availability, and Confidentiality.
The SOC 2 Type II audit evaluates controls and processes over an extended period to determine whether controls function as intended. Extensiv’s audit was conducted for the period of July 31, 2023 to October 31, 2023 by MJD Advisors, a CPA firm specializing in SOC reports, and Drata, a leading security and compliance automation platform. A report detailing the findings of Extensiv’s audit is available at https://trust.extensiv.com.
By September of 2023, last year had already surpassed 2022 data breaches by more than 17%, making cyber security an even larger focus for many companies. In fact, the Identity Theft Research Center called out small and midsize companies in the Supply Chain as particularly hard hit by data breaches and leaks considering the impact they have on other organizations in the larger business ecosystem. Because of the reliance on these companies, ensuring secure and reliable software to the critical logistics infrastructure is more important than ever.
