Published - December 4, 2024

SafetyIQ, a leader in safety management software, has achieved SOC2 certification, setting a new benchmark for data security in the high-risk sectors of Mining, Manufacturing, and Supporting Services.

As safety software becomes integral to capturing sensitive field data, legal and compliance teams face mounting pressure to ensure robust data protection. With this certification, SafetyIQ delivers industry-leading security measures, offering clients peace of mind and helping them meet the most stringent legal and regulatory requirements in today’s complex digital landscape.

Meeting Legal and Compliance Demands in High-Risk Sectors

"Achieving SOC2 compliance is more than just a milestone for us; it’s a testament to our commitment to data integrity and the protection of our clients' sensitive information," said Scott Jackson, CEO of SafetyIQ. "Legal and compliance teams in high-risk industries need confidence that their software providers are upholding the highest standards, and this certification is our pledge to delivering exactly that."

The SOC2 audit, conducted by an independent third-party firm, evaluates a service provider’s adherence to the five Trust Service Criteria:

1. Security
2. Availability
3. Processing Integrity
4. Confidentiality
5. Privacy.

For legal professionals, this certification signals a rigorous, standardized approach to data protection, offering peace of mind when it comes to managing sensitive operational and personal data.

Reducing Legal Risk and Strengthening Regulatory Compliance

In industries where safety is paramount, data breaches can lead to significant legal liabilities and reputational damage. SafetyIQ’s SOC2 compliance provides an added layer of protection, helping clients navigate complex data privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA. The company’s proactive approach to compliance aligns with industry-specific standards, including OSHA guidelines in the U.S. and the Australian Work Health and Safety Act, making it a preferred choice for legal and compliance teams.

"Our clients are facing increasing regulatory pressures, and selecting a SOC2-compliant provider helps mitigate those risks," added Jackson. "It’s not just about checking a box; it’s about building a resilient, trustworthy solution that meets the rigorous demands of our industry."

Building Trust with Clients Through Enhanced Data Security

For legal teams, third-party risk management is critical when evaluating software vendors. SafetyIQ’s SOC2 compliance includes robust assessments of its third-party suppliers, ensuring that the entire data handling process is secure. This comprehensive approach to data protection enhances client trust and strengthens vendor relationships.

"Legal and IT security professionals are rightfully concerned about third-party risks," said Jackson. "By securing SOC2 certification, we’ve demonstrated our dedication to transparency and due diligence, addressing these concerns head-on."
