Significance of Security & Compliance certification of your cloud-based systems

Significance of Security & Compliance certification of your cloud-based WMS.

In today's era, it comes as no surprise that a significant number of warehouses are opting to transition and embrace cloud-based WMS. This shift is driven by several factors, including improved forecasting, reduce IT-related concerns and costs associated with infrastructure and resources, considerations for training and development needs, as well as keeping up with technological advancements through regular upgrades, being the predominant influencing factors. However, amid the considerations for capabilities, functionalities, user interface and user experience, security and compliance are often overlooked as critical factors in the decision-making process for selecting the most suitable systems. While every supplier will undoubtedly claim that their solution is scalable, flexible, cost-effective, user-friendly and more, the unfortunate reality is that not everyone acknowledges or are willing to discuss the security features and associated risks.

The growing threat of cyber-attacks and data breaches industry-wide including warehouse operations is exacerbated by the prevalent inadequate configuration of cloud services and the advancing skills of cyber criminals. It’s common knowledge, cyberattacks have impacted not only major entities like the NHS (‘WannaCry’ ransomware in May 2017 costing NHS £92M) but smaller businesses too, including car dealers, corner shops, florists etc. It’s difficult to fathom the prospect of one's warehouse grinding to a halt and subjected to ransom, risking damage to customer reputations & relationships, impacting end-users, let alone the thought of 1000s of customer and product data being compromised! It’s worth noting here, under GDPR, your organization must adopt a proactive approach to the capture and processing of pertinent personal data, ensure data security and have a credible set of technical, managerial, and operational controls in position.

Criminals are getting clever(er)!

These attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, rendering traditional cybersecurity measures such as antivirus software and firewalls less effective. To ensure robust protection while utilizing cloud services for storing sensitive data and personal information, businesses must extend their security approach beyond conventional solutions, covering all aspects of security.

As an IT solution provider, at TEJAS Software, we recognize that security holds equal importance irrespective of warehouse sizes or its operations. This is why our WMS and other solutions have obtained industry-leading SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation.

There is a strict process for qualification that involves security maintenance and upkeeping of our servers throughout the year involving Server hosting, routine log testing, pen testing, simulated hacking, vulnerability testing etc., adherence to policies and protocols leaving Audit trials.

The attestation examinations are performed by an independent third-party assessor firm to determine whether the organization’s internal controls are designed and operating effectively to mitigate different types of risks.  Being SOC 2 compliant assures you that TEJAS got the infrastructure, tools, and processes to protect our customer information from unauthorized access both from within and outside the firm.
