Directed Technologies Achieves SOC 2 Type 2 Accreditation, Strengthening Global Growth Strategy
Directed Technologies, a leading innovator in connected mobility solutions, has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation for Security and Confidentiality for its e.things software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. This achievement reinforces the company’s commitment to world-class data security and operational excellence as it continues to scale globally.
SOC 2 Type 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is a rigorous certification process that validates an organisation’s ability to implement and maintain robust security controls over time. The accreditation is mandatory for major global organisations handling sensitive customer data, ensuring systems are designed effectively and operate securely to protect confidentiality and privacy.
Brent Stafford, Executive Director of Directed Technologies, said the accreditation is a significant milestone in the company’s mission to provide trusted, secure, and scalable fleet management and connected mobility solutions worldwide.
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 for Security and Confidentiality is a testament to our unwavering commitment to data security and operational integrity,” Stafford said. “As we expand into new global markets and deliver advanced telematics and fleet solutions, this certification provides assurance to our customers that their data is managed with the highest level of security.”
This latest certification builds on Directed Technologies’ existing compliance framework, which includes ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, reinforcing its position as a trusted Tier 1 supplier to OEMs and major fleet operators worldwide.
Directed Technologies’ e.things platform is at the core of its connected mobility ecosystem, providing advanced data analytics, telematics, and fleet optimisation tools for leading automotive manufacturers and large-scale fleet operators. With SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation, e.things customers can be confident in the platform’s ability to meet stringent security and confidentiality requirements, ensuring a secure and reliable digital infrastructure for their operations.
“With growing global and geopolitical concerns around data security, compliance is not just a necessity, and an organisational moral obligation – it’s a competitive advantage,” Stafford added. “We will continue to proactively invest in security, compliance, and innovation to support our customers in navigating the evolving landscape of connected mobility.”
As Directed Technologies accelerates its global expansion, the company remains committed to ongoing compliance and continuous improvement, with annual SOC 2 assessments and additional certifications in progress for key international markets.
