EKM GLOBAL
Be safe, be seen to be safe For EKM Global, keeping customers data protected is core to what we do. But we also know that customers need to have confidence in their providers – which is why accreditations are important and why EKM Global constantly works to maintain and achieve current accreditation.
In recent years, the amount of data produced by businesses has soared. With increasing use of digital technologies, many more facets of a business can produce data or be tracked than ever before. While this can have benefits for businesses, it also means the data is more attractive to cyber criminals too, which means security is paramount. When working with providers, customers want to feel that confidence that they have taken all the necessary steps to ensure their systems are secure and that their data will be fully protected. At EKM Global, we are more than aware of this and, as a business that trades on a hard-won reputation, we understand the importance of not only being as secure as possible, but ensuring that our customers know this by achieving accreditation to prove our security and give them that confidence. SOC 2 Type 1 compliance This is why EKM Global has achieved the SOC 2 Type I Attestation in accordance
the cybersecurity controls that an organisation has in place. The evaluation process determines whether the internal controls that have been put in place by an organisation are sufficient to safeguard the data of their customers and fulfil the required Trust Services Criteria. Having gone through the rigorous audit process, EKM Global has received the attestation. For this, we must thank Prescient Security – a leader in security and compliance certifications for SaaS companies globally – for its support throughout the process. Conforming to world-class standards At EKM Global, we are proud to conform to world-class industry standards to ensure our customers’ data is fully protected. With so many recent stories of high- profile data breaches this year, we know that customers are worried about the threats from cyber criminals – and that they are growing – so to show that our systems have been independently assessed to be secure should help to give
