Gallagher Renews SOC Type 2 Certification In Customer Trust Boost.
Gallagher Renews SOC Type 2 Certification – Gallagher Security’s security compliance engineer, Mike Randle, said the company’s renewal of SOC2 Type 2 certification provides a boost to customer trust.
Gallagher achieved renewal of attestation status for System and Organization Controls (SOC2 Type 2) integral to the cloud-hosted services of its award-winning integrated security solution, Command Centre.
According to Randle, SOC 2 Type 2 is considered one of the most rigorous audit frameworks in existence, indicating that third-party service providers who go to the lengths of completing one are committed to strict ongoing internal regulations to ensure that customer data is protected. The framework specifies criteria to uphold high standards of data security, based on 5 trust service principles: security, privacy, availability, confidentiality, and processing integrity.
Randle said the importance of managing sensitive customer data has increased dramatically as the industry shifts towards cloud-based or hybrid-cloud security delivery.
“We’re living in a world where information is highly valuable, and protecting that information is becoming increasingly difficult,” Randle said. “This is why programs like the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) SOC 2 criteria framework were created: to ensure that companies can be trusted to protect their customers’ information.
“As cloud solutions, compliances, and cyber threats become more commonplace, IT departments are gaining a more important seat at the decision-making table and have strong influence over security system choice. It’s our responsibility to be prepared with the information they need to build confidence.”

In January, the World Economic Forum released its Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024 Insight Report, which Randle said made the concerning observation that “a stark divide between cyber-resilient organizations and those that are struggling has emerged”.
“At Gallagher Security, we understand that our customers need assurance and trust that we not only care about protecting their data; but also, about safeguarding our own practices, as this helps protect all of our customers,” Randle said.
The voluntary SOC2 Type 2 compliance standard for service organizations maintained by AICPA provides a structure to annually assess an organization’s internal controls for information security and privacy.
During the audit process, the cloud-hosted services of Gallagher’s Command Centre solution were examined by an external party to ensure information security processes, policies and procedures complied with the stringent AICPA trust principles.
In addition to the SOC2 Type 2 accreditation, Gallagher Security maintains a comprehensive suite of standards and certifications including ISO27001, CAPSS 2021, and FIPS 140-3.
