We all know that data safety is vital. When data is mishandled or unsecure, the consequences can be devastating. Extortion. Malware installation. Data theft. A breach of security can be a real-life nightmare. That’s why it’s essential to have a PropTech partner that you can trust. With user data security at the forefront of our work, Homebase has taken the necessary steps to receive our SOC 2 certification.
Why SOC 2?
The SOC 2 auditing process ensures that service providers are securely managing the data of clients and maintaining user privacy. To receive a SOC 2 certification, service providers must demonstrate compliance with the five “trust service principles” —security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. At Homebase, we’ve always been committed to security. Now, we have the receipts to prove it.
Security as a core value
Achieving SOC 2 compliance is a team effort. Adam England, Vice President of Engineering states: “When a company makes it the responsibility of a single person or department, it becomes a chore, rather than a central part of your business. At Homebase, members of many departments came together to make this a reality.” It takes a village to ensure that we live up to our most important values, and our team is united in protecting your security.
What’s next?
We won’t stop there. Our quest to maximize data security continues. Using Vanta, the leader in continuous compliance monitoring, Homebase is able to easily manage issues as they arise. We’ve created an internal cross-functional team to regularly review security procedures and explore opportunities for improvement. Take your property into the future of living trusting your residents and their data are protected.
