You can say Yotta Automated Software Solutions, Inc. (YASSI) passed the data-security test.

The provider of real-time vehicle and title data infrastructure for the automotive, insurance, and lending industries on Tuesday announced the successful completion of its latest SOC 2 Type II certification with zero exceptions. The result came from an independent examination under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), covering activity from April 1 of last year through March 31 of this year.

Unlike a point-in-time snapshot, YASSI explained SOC 2 Type II requires an independent auditor to verify that every security control operates effectively across an entire year.

“Meeting that bar is neither easy nor inexpensive. Sustaining it is a long-term commitment. It is the standard every provider entrusted with sensitive data should be held to,” the company said in a news release.

“YASSI’s controls, spanning infrastructure, access management, encryption, incident response, and disaster recovery, operated with zero exceptions across the full review period,” the company continued.

YASSI added that it has completed four consecutive SOC 2 Type II audits since March 2022, most recently achieving zero exceptions.

“While a single result reflects performance at a given point in time, a multi-year record demonstrates sustained discipline and YASSI has achieved both,” the company said.

YASSI noted that behind every vehicle record is personally identifiable information, including driver’s license data, registration history, lien status, and identity details protected under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).

“When a provider falls short, the exposure does not stay with the vendor. It reaches every organization that relies on that provider, and ultimately the individuals whose data they are trusted to protect,” the company said.

Operating as an AAMVA-Approved NMVTIS Consumer Access Provider within a U.S. Department of Justice-sanctioned framework, YASSI holds direct data agreements with state motor vehicle agencies in 46 states and growing, delivering source-direct title, registration, driving record, and lien data, with NMVTIS data available through one unified API.

“We touch some of the most sensitive data in the country, including people’s identities, their vehicle records, and their privacy. That obligation does not end when the audit does. SOC 2 Type II is the standard we hold ourselves to every single day, and our results prove it,” YASSI chief information security officer Bosco Yuen said in the news release.

YASSI also mentioned organizations evaluating vehicle data providers should verify that prospective vendors can provide current SOC 2 Type I and Type II reports with no exceptions, as well as audit documentation covering the previous three years.

“This level of transparency helps organizations assess a provider’s security controls and long-term compliance practices before entering into an agreement. Existing customers should also review their provider’s publicly available security and compliance materials, which leading vendors make readily accessible,” the company said.

“Independent proof, sustained over time, and open to verification. That is the standard YASSI holds, and the one every organization should demand from any provider that touches its data,” the company went on to say.
