SOC 2 Type II

SOC 3
A SOC 3 (Service Organization Controls) report is an abbreviated version of a SOC 2 report and is appropriate for users who want assurance about the Cloud Service Provider’s (CSP) controls but do not require a full SOC 2 report. A SOC 3 report may only be issued if the CSP has an unqualified audit.

Product security
Our processes, standards, policies, and tools help keep security integral to product design, architecture, implementation and operation. Security is extremely important to us. Thorough code reviews and vulnerabilities testing is a core part of our product delivery.
Cybersecurity
Preventative controls and measures guard data from security breaches with threat detection and continuous monitoring and response.
Secure Development Lifecycle
All products follow a defined SDLC program which requires at a minimum detailed threat modeling, manual and automated code reviews, vulnerability scans, developer training, privacy reviews, penetration testing and image and server hardening. By keeping a measurable and consistent secure development lifecycle (SDLC), we’re able to improve trustworthiness and product resilience. The tools and processes we keep adding promote a culture of security and privacy awareness.

Our mission is to help companies expand their business into new countries by addressing data residency and protection challenges. We do so by addressing data residency requirements with local regulations and securely and privately localizing regulated data, such as Payment Card Information (PCI), Protected Health Information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII). InCountry does not collect or store any information beyond what is required to operate the service. We do not handle or store social media posts, text messages, instant messages, personal photographs or phone logs. InCountry is committed to conducting business with the highest degree of ethical values and has dedicated resources for maintaining compliance with regulatory and legal requirements.

The European Union (EU) passed the GDPR to give individuals more control over their personal data. GDPR imposes more rules about processing PII and comes with powerful enforcement. We invest significant strategic resources in maintaining compliance with the GDPR and we also aim to help our customers comply with the processes and policies outlined.
InCountry’s privacy policy describes what data InCountry collects, how we use and protect this data, retention periods for customer data and customer rights regarding use of their data. Our policies enable us to comply with related privacy and data protection laws. It defines requirements for processing and accessing personal data, and establishes clear responsibilities and organizational structures. This means that your data is safe with us.
InCountry employees are regularly trained and tested for a high level of data privacy awareness. Internal teams regularly test the effectiveness of privacy and security controls to confirm we continue to maintain the appropriate level of protection of data.
