Fidano, a software and business solutions provider for the payment processing industry, has successfully completed a rigorous fifth annual examination of its policies and procedures under the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 Type 2 standards, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to data security at all levels of its operations.
The demanding third-party examinations that led to the achievement were administered by the professional IT assurance and compliance staff at 360 Advanced, a respected national Qualified Security Assessor, HITRUST CSF Assessor and Certified Public Accountant firm based in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The SOC 1 Type 2 is an AICPA created authoritative guidance providing a uniform method for disclosing independently assessed information about performance and reporting requirements for an examination of controls at a service organization that are likely to be relevant to user entities’ internal control over financial reporting. Companies that successfully complete an annual SOC 1 examination can demonstrate a substantially higher level of security assurance and operational visibility than companies that have not completed the examination.
“Our software is provided to merchant service sales providers, who partner with banks, credit unions and other organizations in the US, UK and EU. Those organizations share key data with us and their first question often is, ‘What are your data compliance rules?’” said Bob Skattum, President of Fidano. “Having an annual SOC examination provides us with a pathway to best practices in data security and leads to positive change in how we process our clients’ data.”
