FourKites awarded ISO 27001 certification, meets ISO 27017, ISO 27018 standards

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- Leading real-time supply chain visibility platform FourKites® has announced meeting the standards set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) for ISO 27017 for cloud service security, and ISO 27018 for data privacy as part of its ISO 27001 certification.

According to a statement, the achievement represents FourKites' ongoing pursuit of the most recent and stringent security standards in the industry.

“Meeting these standards is a testament to FourKites’ ongoing commitment to go above and beyond when it comes to securing our platform, which ingests more than 250 terabytes of data each month,” said FourKites Founder and CEO, Mathew Elenjickal.

“Safe and secure data sharing has tremendous benefits across the supply chain, including more accurate business planning and risk mitigation, higher customer satisfaction and retention, and improved employee morale.”

To qualify, an independent audit committee confirmed that FourKites meets a stringent set of requirements around security and privacy.

ISO 27017 provides guidelines for information security controls applicable to and specific to the provisioning and use of cloud services, while ISO 27018 establishes commonly accepted controls and guidelines for implementing measures to protect personally identifiable information (PII) for the public cloud computing environment.

Meanwhile, ISO 27001 mandates controls for the establishment, maintenance and certification of an information security management system (ISMS).

Adherence to ISO 27017 and 27018 is the latest validation of FourKites’ rigorous security efforts, including its comprehensive General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) privacy program, which even applies in regions where it is not required and incorporates the Schrems II ruling.

FourKites delivers real-time insights to global customers, leveraging patented artificial intelligence based on 150 factors, including weather, traffic and real-time data from GPS, ELD telematics networks, mobile devices, AIS and more.

The company offers out-of-the-box dashboards and reports, automated and customisable notifications that leverage geofencing and temperature tracking, and SKU-level visibility to track multimodal shipments, even when they’re split across multiple carriers.
