BeyondTrucks gains SOC 2 Type II compliance for enhanced security
BeyondTrucks recently achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance—widely recognized as the highest standard for enterprise-grade security—for its AI-powered truck dispatch planning and management platform. SOC 2 Type II audits examine the effectiveness of cybersecurity controls over a minimum period of time, typically 6-12 months, to demonstrate sustained security practices.
“This process validates that we have committed to and implemented robust security controls for protecting our customers’ sensitive supply chain data, freight information, and business intelligence,” BeyondTrucks CEO Hans Galland said in a news release.
SOC 2 Type II is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that evaluates how well a service provider safeguards customer data based on five Trust Service Criteria, including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 Type II goes beyond SOC 2 Type I in that in Type II a technology provider subjects itself to a continuous external evaluation of internal controls and processes, whereas an audit under SOC 2 Type l is only a snapshot of a provider’s practices at one point in time, BeyondTrucks reported. The audit is conducted by an independent, accredited third party, which provides an unbiased assessment of the company’s security posture and operational controls.
“These audits validate that we are consistently maintaining protections across our multi-tenant architecture where multiple customers share the same infrastructure and applications,” Galland explained. “In contrast, the single-tenant or on-premise models place security responsibilities with the customer’s IT team, making it impossible for the software vendor to obtain SOC 2 Type II certification for those deployments.”
With enterprise customers increasingly requiring SOC 2 Type II as a baseline for demonstrating a continuous commitment to security by vendors, the certification standard enables BeyondTrucks to deliver third-party verified protection and make enterprise-level security accessible at “a fraction of the price,” the company concluded.
“In a market where legacy enterprise TMS solutions are predominantly delivered as single-tenant or on-premise deployments, BeyondTrucks, as a true multi-tenant enterprise SaaS fleet TMS provider, stands alone in offering independently audited security by SOC 2 Type II standards,” Galland stated.
“Our multi-tenant architecture combined with SOC 2 Type II compliance proves that a modern TMS can deliver superior economics and security simultaneously, a combination that even the biggest enterprise TMS providers architecturally cannot offer and new players have not achieved.”
