BROADLANDS, VA — AUGUST 27, 2024 –
Qued, Inc., which deploys an AI-enabled smart workflow platform that automates load appointment scheduling for brokers, 3PLs and carriers, announced today it has gained SOC 2 certification, having successfully completed a third-party audit process to assess compliance of the company’s systems, procedures, policies and data security practices with rigorous standards.
SOC 2, which stands for Service and Organization Controls, is a compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The framework specifies how organizations should manage and protect the security and integrity of customer data, and through a third-party audit process, provides a report that assesses data management and cybersecurity controls governing operations.
“Achieving SOC 2 compliance underscores our commitment to the highest standards of data security and privacy,” said Prasad Gollapalli, Qued’s chairman and chief executive. “This industry-recognized certification demonstrates our dedication to safeguarding client data with industry-leading practices.”
The company pursued SOC 2 compliance at the behest of its clients, noted Kishore Illa, Qued’s vice president of technology. “If you are a service organization that stores, processes or transmits any type of customer data, SOC 2 compliance is essential to help establish airtight security controls. It’s a testament to our rigorous approach to protecting sensitive information across our platform.”
It is no secret that businesses today face daily threats and challenges to their cybersecurity from any number of bad actors, added Mr. Gollapalli. “As a load appointment scheduling partner with our customers, we want to ensure we protect and secure their critical data as we work with them to improve their business over the long haul. This milestone reinforces our ongoing mission to provide secure and reliable solutions to our customers.”
