Gillware Data Services Completes Security Audit SOC 2 Type II

In its ongoing commitment to privacy and security, Gillware, Inc. has completed its 2013 SOC 2 Type II audit and meets the required professional and accounting standards.

“At Gillware, we take security very seriously,” said Wesley Gill, president, Gillware. “Our customers trust us with their important files every day and make it our priority to keep that data safe on every level throughout the entire backup process.“

Service Organization Controls or SOC 2 reports are based on five principles that a service organization must adhere to: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Gillware has put controls in place in order to guarantee both physical and logical facility security, system availability, processing, confidentiality and privacy for its customers.

“The safety of our customers’ data is integrated into all of our business processes,” said Danielle Petta, Gillware’s security audit coordinator. “All Gillware employees are pre-screened and trained in our security, privacy and confidentiality controls. Our network is properly protected and our facilities and data center are fully secure.“

Amidst recent news of data breaches at major retailers and security vulnerabilities on other websites, Gillware ensures that its systems are properly protected and defended from external threats.

“Gillware uses state-of-the-art technology to keep unauthorized personnel from gaining access to our data center and our networks,” Gill said. “The auditing process was rigorous, and Gillware performed outstandingly, meaning customers can rest assured their data is in good hands.“
