COPS Monitoring Receives SOC 2 Type I Attestation Report

Independent audit verifies COPS Monitoring’s internal controls and processes adhere to the highest standards

KirkpatrickPrice has announced that COPS Monitoring, the largest provider of professional monitoring services in North America, has received its independent Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type attestation engagement report. Completion of this certification provides clear evidence of COPS Monitoring’s ongoing commitment to deliver high quality services to its clients by complying with the highest standards.

KirkpatrickPrice’s SOC 2 service audit report demonstrates that COPS Monitoring’s controls and operating effectiveness meet or exceed standards for security, systems availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy as set forth in the AICPA’s Trust Services Principles.

“The growing wake of large company data breaches provides strong evidence that it’s more important than ever to have the right controls in place,” said Jim McMullen, President and COO of COPS Monitoring.  “We’ve spent millions on technology and infrastructure and will continue to do so into the future to ensure the security and reliability of our customer data and network of UL listed, active load-sharing monitoring stations. Our independent SOC 2 report underscores our investments and sets us apart by clearly illustrating that we have the security, systems and control procedures in place across the largest network of monitoring centers in the United States to reliably safeguard our dealers, subscribers, and their sensitive information.”

A SOC 2 audit is especially important for companies that handle sensitive information, said Joseph Kirkpatrick, Managing Partner with KirkpatrickPrice.

“COPS Monitoring delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured they’re doing business with a service provider that adheres to high auditing standards set forth by the AICPA,” said Kirkpatrick.
