APC, the leading database marketer for Vehicle Services Contracts (VSC) in the Automotive Industry, announced it has achieved SOC 2 certification.
CHESTERFIELD, Mo., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- APC, the leading database marketer for Vehicle Services Contracts (VSC) in the Automotive Industry, announced it has achieved SOC 2 certification, the gold standard for data security and compliance, based on an independent audit conducted by a large third-party accounting firm. This achievement further validates APC as a trusted and secure partner for its users and their data assets.
SOC 2 is a framework of security standards based on the five trust principles developed and maintained by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA): Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy. The SOC 2 audit is considered the most rigorous of control standards, since it ascertains whether a company can control and secure its processes over time. A SOC2 certification such as that achieved by APC is considered a more reliable measure as it reflects a culture of permanent control and tracking of changes.
"Achieving the SOC 2 Type II certification further demonstrates our promise of customer data protection over an extended period of time with robust capabilities to identify, track, and resolve security vulnerabilities," said Mike Wagner, VP Information Technology. "By working with a SOC 2 certified vendor like APC, there are assurances that data is kept secure through the implementation of standardized controls as defined in the AICPA Trust Service Principles framework."
