Convious, a leading eCommerce platform for the leisure industry, has met the demanding requirements of SOC 2 Type I IT Security Compliance. This achievement sets a new standard in data security and privacy for the visitor attractions sector.
Companies undertaking SOC 2 (Service Organisation Control 2) compliance are subject to a stringent audit process. The certification verifies an organisation’s dedication to protecting sensitive customer information while making sure that data is available and secure.
Unrelenting focus on security
Convious’s SOC 2 certification evidences its capacity to protect customer data in its cutting-edge eCommerce solutions.
The SOC 2 compliance process began with a thorough examination of Convious’s security measures, processes, and controls, which was conducted by Conclude Accountants, which specialises in IT security compliance. Convious’s audit was completed successfully and shows that the firm’s diligent approach to detecting and mitigating potential risks assures the safety of data exchanged across its platform.
Convious is also collaborating with external data protection specialists, Datenschutz Experte.de, to achieve a greater degree of data security. The company has already completed a Data Protection Impact Assessment in March 2023, which is a vital part of enhanced security compliance.
Camiel Kraan, Convious CEO and founder, says: “Our SOC 2 achievement is a testament to our unrelenting focus on security and controlled access to our systems. As eCommerce continues to evolve, maintaining the trust of our customers and protecting their data is of paramount importance.”
“This assessment reflects our dedication to continuous improvement. The insightful report provided by Datenschutz Experte.de has enabled us to enhance our data protection management. We received a comprehensive checklist outlining areas for improvement, further reinforcing our commitment to safeguarding the data we process. We’re looking forward to taking our next steps regarding compliance as we believe this is essential for the regulation and professionalisation of our industry.”
Trust and confidence
Convious remains dedicated to keeping the highest standards for security in today’s digital landscape, where cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly common. SOC 2 IT Security Compliance coincides with the business’s aim of empowering eCommerce companies with innovative technology while instilling trust and confidence in their partners, and visitors at attractions.
Convious announced earlier this year that it is sponsoring the second annual Visitor Attraction Website Report Survey from website specialists Rubber Cheese. In 2023, the report will focus on issues surrounding personalisation.
