Axis Communications has achieved SOC 2® (System and Organization Controls) Type 1 attestation for the cloud-based solutions, Axis Cloud Connect platform and AXIS Device Manager Extend. The SOC 2 audit, performed by an independent third-party auditor, verifies that Axis has implemented robust security controls and practices that meet the stringent criteria set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Compliance with the trust services criteria in SOC 2 demonstrates that Axis uses internationally recognized processes and best practices to manage the data from its partners and customers. The attestation specifically evaluates the design of the security controls to ensure the protection of customer data.
Commenting on the audit, Niklas Holmqvist, R&D Director for Axis Cloud Connect at Axis, said: “Axis has developed cloud-based solutions and services for many years. The SOC 2 attestation is a testament to our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of security and operational excellence. Our customers and partners can have confidence that their data is protected with industry-leading practices.”
