We’re excited to share that Screenly has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance! This significant milestone highlights our ongoing dedication to keeping our digital signage solutions secure and reliable for our customers, particularly with mission-critical enterprise digital signage. By passing the rigorous SOC 2 audit, Screenly demonstrates our commitment to maintaining industry-leading standards in security, privacy, and operational excellence.
What exactly is SOC 2 Type II compliance?
SOC 2, or Service Organization Control 2, is an auditing procedure governed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates companies on five key principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Screenly underwent a thorough, independent assessment to ensure our systems and processes meet these high standards, proving our ability to securely manage your digital signage networks.
Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance means that our security controls are not just documented but proven to be effective in real-world conditions over time. For our customers, this provides confidence that Screenly consistently operates at the highest level of security and reliability.
Why SOC 2 Type II compliance matters in digital signage
Security is critical in digital signage because screens are often publicly accessible and operate without constant supervision. Digital signage networks, if not properly secured, can become easy targets for cyberattacks, potentially leading to compromised screens, data breaches, or unauthorized network access.
Research shows IoT devices, including digital signage players, are increasingly targeted in cyberattacks. Hackers commonly exploit vulnerabilities such as outdated software or weak security configurations. By attaining SOC 2 Type II compliance, Screenly ensures that we’ve implemented comprehensive safeguards, continuous monitoring, and rapid response procedures to keep your signage systems secure.
Moreover, enterprise organizations often have strict vendor security requirements. SOC 2 compliance is widely recognized as a “gold standard” security benchmark, making vendor assessments simpler and faster. With SOC 2 Type II, Screenly helps enterprises quickly verify that our security practices meet their compliance needs, particularly important in industries like finance, healthcare, and retail.
How Screenly’s security approach supports SOC 2
Our SOC 2 Type II compliance reflects a deeper culture of security at Screenly, embedded since our founding. Key elements of our robust security posture include:
Secure Devices: Screenly digital signage players run securely isolated processes, have no default logins, and have no open network ports, minimizing vulnerabilities.
Reliable Updates: Updates are automatic, seamless, cryptographically signed, and applied transactionally, ensuring devices always run verified software.
End-to-End Encryption: We use mutual TLS encryption and hardware-secured keys, protecting all communications between devices and our cloud platform.
Proactive Cloud Security: Our cloud infrastructure continually scans for vulnerabilities and uses short-lived servers to mitigate potential threats.
Advanced Access Controls: Screenly supports two-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and granular team controls to ensure only authorized users manage signage content.
Each of these security features combines to make your digital signs as secure as possible. You can deploy just one screen or hundreds of screens with confidence, knowing that your digital signs are built with security at their core.
Trust and reliability for enterprise customers
For businesses considering digital signage, Screenly’s SOC 2 Type II compliance represents a strong reassurance of security, reliability, and trustworthiness. Also, this milestone is just part of our ongoing security-first digital signage commitment. Screenly remains committed to continuously improving and updating our security practices to adapt to evolving threats, giving customers complete confidence in their digital signage deployments.
