Digital Recognition Network announced this week that the company’s vehicle location data and license plate recognition technology services completed and passed a SOC 2 (Service Organization Control) Type 1 report for security, availability and confidentiality.

DRN officials highlighted that independent service auditor, Kirkpatrick Price, conducted the exam of the company’s vehicle location data and license plate recognition technology services controls as a service provider. The controls are measured against criteria for security, availability and confidentiality established by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).

DRN’s SOC 2 report for the company’s vehicle location data and license plate recognition technology services examined:

• Infrastructure: The physical and hardware components of DRN’s systems (facilities, equipment and networks)

• Software: DRN’s programs and operating software

• People: The personnel involved in the operation and use of DRN’s services (developers, operators, users and managers)

• Procedures: the automated and manual procedures involved in the operation of the system

• Data: The information used and supported by DRN’s services (transaction streams, files, databases and tables)

DRN chief executive officer Chris Metaxas emphasized the SOC 2 Type 1 Report assessment demonstrates DRN’s ability to deliver secure, trusted solutions to customers.

“Completing the SOC 2 Report assures our customers that we have the controls in place for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy,” Metaxas said.

“We understand that to our customers, these controls are absolutely essential given the regulatory nature of their businesses,” he continued. “DRN’s SOC 2 completion is yet another way that we help our clients with their compliance requirements.”
