New Jersey-based Somos, a specialist in connected asset services, identity management and fraud prevention, has announced SOC 2 Type II certification for SomosID as a trusted and secure option in the device security marketplace.

SomosID is a robust registry offering, empowering organisations with transparency, identity validation and lifecycle visibility for their IoT assets. It ensures transparency by validating IoT asset identities through diverse data sources and continuously monitors vulnerabilities. With a unique industry-standard ID assigned to each asset, component, user and related event, SomosID enables seamless correlation and comprehensive lifecycle visibility.

SOC 2 Type II, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates an organisation’s commitment to data privacy and security across five pillars: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. This certification underscores Somos’ safeguards and reassures stakeholders of secure management for sensitive client data.

“Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance for SomosID is a testament to Somos’ commitment to delivering secure and reliable solutions in the device security marketplace,” said Sri Ramachandran, chief technology officer at Somos. “This certification underscores our dedication to protecting sensitive information and providing our customers and partners with the transparency and confidence they need to manage their IoT assets effectively.”
