MultiTech’s DeviceHQ cloud-based tool set and Lens, a LoRaWan-optimised embedded network server and management toolset, have secured SOC 2 type-one compliance.

The compliance standard was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

SOC (system organisational control) 2 is designed to specify how organisations should manage customer data. Through the process, an organisation’s internal controls for privacy and information security are examined, assessing compliance at a specific point in time.

“Data security is increasingly important in today’s unsettled geopolitical environment, particularly when it comes to critical infrastructure,” said Prasad Kandikonda, vice president of engineering at MultiTech. “We constantly monitor the industry for security issues to protect our devices as well as the mission critical applications for our customers. The SOC 2 compliance is yet another step we are taking as part of this critical corporate initiative.”

In addition to SOC 2 compliance, MultiTech’s products, services and processes are compliant to the Nist cyber-security framework.

DeviceHQ is a cloud-based tool set for managing the latest MultiTech devices. It incorporates all the functionality of MultiTech Device Manager, on which so many M2M and IoT applications already rely for remote monitoring, upgrades and configuration of entire device populations, whether one or one million. DeviceHQ provides an application marketplace, allowing users to browse applications or build their own then easily deploy them to and customise them for remote devices from anywhere.

Lens is a toolset for secure, distributed, scalable enterprise LoRaWans, designed to enable easy and efficient deployment and management of private LoRaWans at scale. It provides centralised key management for LoRaWan end devices, and configuration and control of MultiTech Conduit gateways.

Lens executes typical LoRaWan management functions such as adding gateways and LoRaWan end devices in bulk, or creating separate organisations and network segmentation to support different IoT use cases or applications, while providing access rights to individual users.

Whether it’s ten or 10,000 devices, Lens provides network management at the click of a mouse button form the network operations centre (NOC) or provisioning and management centre.
