Procare and ChildPlus software hold the prestigious SOC 2 Type 2 certification, a gold standard for secure and trustworthy data management
Procare Solutions stands out as one of the few
Designed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SOC 2 Type 2 compliance framework evaluates and validates an organization's information security practices. It focuses on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.
"Obtaining SOC 2 Type 2 certification for ChildPlus demonstrates the rigorous safeguards in place for both Procare and ChildPlus software to protect the sensitive information of the child care businesses and families who trust us with their financial and personal data," said Joe Gomes, president and CEO of Procare Solutions. "Our customers can feel confident they are getting best-in-class software as well as industry-leading security measures."
Procare Solutions acquired ChildPlus in 2021, and by prioritizing robust security measures, child care centers using Procare and Head Start programs using ChildPlus can be confident they are serious about protecting data.
Additional security standards in place include:
Two-factor Authentication: Also known as multi-factor authentication, this step adds an extra layer of security by requiring an additional verification factor beyond just a username and password.
Strict data security: Sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest while requiring strong passwords with a minimum of 12 characters.
Pick-up and drop-off security features: Anyone who is authorized to pick up a child uses a personalized four-digit PIN for access. This ensures extra security during busy times.
Real-time attendance monitoring: Information on child check-ins and check-outs is automatically updated for tracking attendance, ratios and generating reports.
Contactless check-in: Paper-based check-in processes are eliminated with QR code and GPS-enabled systems, including geofencing technology to prevent unauthorized remote access.
Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards: PCI-DSS 4.0 certification ensures compliance with industry-standard encryption and authentication protocols.
