When businesses trust us with their time and attendance data, access control records, and employee information, they&#8217;re placing confidence in our ability to protect what matters most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GT Clocks has successfully completed both SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II examinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The SOC 2 Type II validates our operational controls across Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Completed on January 9, 2026, and conducted by A-LIGN, this certification validates that our infrastructure meets the highest standards for protecting customer data.<\/p>\n<h4>Why SOC 2 Matters<\/h4>\n<p>SOC 2 is an independent audit framework established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how service organizations handle customer data through five distinct criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Security:<\/strong> Protection against unauthorized access to systems and data<\/li>\n<li><strong>Availability:<\/strong> Systems operate as needed for business operations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processing Integrity:<\/strong> Data processing is complete, valid, accurate, and authorized<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confidentiality:<\/strong> Sensitive information is protected throughout its lifecycle<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy:<\/strong> Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed appropriately<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Achieving certification across all five criteria represents the comprehensive standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Built for the Modern Workforce<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;For over three decades, GT Clocks has built our reputation on reliability and innovation,&#8221; says Colin Leatherbarrow, President. &#8220;Our SOC 2 certification is the latest example of our commitment to meeting the evolving security expectations of our customers across the US, UK, and international markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paul Smith, Grosvenor Technology\u2019s Head of Compliance and PMO, commented: &#8220;Securing a workforce requires more than just software firewalls; it demands a unified approach to infrastructure. Achieving compliance across all five Trust Services Criteria validates that our security governance is embedded in every layer of our operation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The certification aligns with our broader technology strategy. As we expand AI capabilities through GT Labs and introduce innovations like GT Tablet, maintaining rigorous security standards becomes increasingly critical.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Privacy by Design<\/h4>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Biometric data presents distinct privacy considerations. Our systems are built with privacy-first architecture \u2013 we don&#8217;t store actual fingerprints or facial images. Instead, we use secure templates that can&#8217;t be reverse-engineered,\u00a0<\/span>further\u00a0protecting employee privacy while maintaining the security benefits of biometric verification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">This approach reduces risk in the process, which is in line with privacy regulations globally and gives businesses the additional protections against &#8216;buddy punching&#8217; that they need. It&#8217;s the foundation that makes features like contactless facial recognition and fingerprint verification both secure and compliant.<\/p>\n<h4>The Foundation for What&#8217;s Next<\/h4>\n<p>SOC 2 achievement isn&#8217;t a destination \u2013 it&#8217;s a commitment to ongoing vigilance. As we develop our solutions, expand cloud capabilities, and introduce new hardware, this framework ensures security remains central to every decision.<\/p>\n<p>The future of workforce management depends on accurate, real-time data. That future only works if businesses can trust the systems collecting, processing, and protecting that data.<\/p>\n<p>This certification validates that trust.<\/p>\n\n
