NAPCO StarLink Operations Center (NOC) receives SOC 2 rating

AMITYVILLE, N.Y.—NAPCO Security Technologies has announced that its StarLink Network Operations Center (NOC) is now SOC 2 rated.In addition to its UL-listed certifications, NAPCO’s StarLink NOC has undergone rigorous criteria to implement and meet SOC policies & trust services criteria for cybersecurity and data privacy protection, i.e., providing added security for all NAPCO dealer accounts.NAPCO took these important steps even as cyberattack breaches and huge ransomware demands are becoming more aggressive and prevalent in the U.S. and the world at large, the company said.While numerous corporations, healthcare providers, local government, hospitals and more, have been victimized and had to pay millions to unlock their databases, confidential files and infrastructure access, today, service companies are increasingly held responsible for taking demonstrable measures to protect and secure their customers’ data and privacy. NAPCO has done so and taken these significant precautions, to protect both its dealers and their accounts’ privacy and liability exposure.Located within its New York headquarters, processing millions of StarLink signals, NAPCO’s NOC is triple-reinforced, climate and power controlled, and UL 864 10th Ed, UL 2610, UL 1635 listed, as well as SOC 2. In case of an emergency, it is also backed for a failover, by a disaster recovery NOC in Pennsylvania, for immediate, mirrored emergency switchover. In this way, all StarLink signals remain within the U.S. for rapid response in fire life safety, when seconds saved could mean lives. StarLink Fire Communications offers dealers a true UL end-to-end solution, starting from a UL 864 Listed StarLink Fire Communicator, going through its New York headquarters UL 864 NOC to any UL central station a dealer chooses. Additionally, StarLink Fire Communicators and the Napco NOC won awards for cybersecurity (CyberSecured New Product of the Year) for data center security & remote monitoring and management.For more on NAPCO StarLink Communicators and fire alarm signal security, visit www.StarLinkFire.com and download “Things You Should Know When Choosing a Cellular Alarm Communicator.”
