EverCharge establishes continuous monitoring for SOC 2 compliance

On December 3, 2024, in Palo Alto, California, EverCharge announced its achievement of continuous monitoring for SOC 2 Type II compliance in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. This announcement comes as part of the company's commitment to enhancing security and compliance for its enterprise customers. The 24/7 monitoring system is designed to work alongside EverCharge's existing charging management technology, eliminating the requirement for customers to utilize their corporate IT networks for charging operations. By ensuring that business practices are secure at all times, EverCharge aims to maintain continuous adherence to the strictest standards for the protection of sensitive data. The continuous monitoring approach is a significant advancement over traditional annual audits, which often pose challenges in keeping up with compliance requirements throughout the year. The company emphasized that this innovative strategy supports a more seamless, reliable, and secure user experience. Jeffrey Kinsey, the Vice President of Engineering at EverCharge, highlighted that protecting the company also protects its customers, many of whom prioritize security and compliance. Moreover, the company has leveraged its patented SmartPower technology, which enables maximum efficiency by allowing a greater number of EVs to charge simultaneously. With proprietary mesh technology and secure uplinks, the integration with the charging management technology effectively eliminates barriers associated with data connectivity while expediting the go-to-market timeline for their services. By instituting continuous monitoring for SOC 2 compliance, EverCharge simplifies the operations for its enterprise clients, alleviating the burden on IT departments that often struggle to maintain compliance. The current approach also streamlines customer onboarding, ultimately simplifying daily charging operations for users. This move further cements EverCharge's position as an industry leader in the EV charging industry and underscores their focus on paving the way towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for all.
