Hanwha Vision announced on Friday that four of its cloud services have successfully passed the SOC 2 Type 2 examination, enhancing the company's security standing as it broadens its cloud-based video security operations worldwide. The SOC 2 framework, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), provides an independent evaluation of service organizations' internal controls that manage customer data.
Widely acknowledged as a crucial indicator for assessing the security and operational stability of cloud service providers, Type 2 assessments differ from Type 1 by examining the effectiveness of controls over a longer period. Among the assessed services are Hanwha Vision's Cloud Portal, OnCloud video surveillance service, OnCAFE access control service, and HealthPro device management service.
The company's SOC 2 Type 1 examination was concluded in May, followed by a six-month assessment of its cloud service operations from March to August before completing the Type 2 examination. The evaluation concentrated on three critical aspects: security, availability, and confidentiality. Security encompasses protecting systems and data from external threats and unauthorized access, while availability emphasizes the consistent, uninterrupted delivery of services.
Confidentiality ensures restricted access to and use of sensitive information. Hanwha Vision emphasized the integration of security measures from the inception of its cloud infrastructure and the implementation of stringent security protocols throughout service development and operation, which have bolstered its overall cloud security and operational controls.
The company intends to persist in undertaking SOC 2 Type 2 assessments to maintain the reliability of its cloud services and augment customer trust. Furthermore, it aims to utilize its improved security capabilities as it broadens its cloud-based video security solutions in global markets. "Achieving the SOC 2 Type 2 certification is significant in fortifying customer confidence in our cloud services," stated a Hanwha Vision representative.
"We remain committed to reinforcing our security and operational framework to deliver dependable cloud services."
