Wherobots city scape with SOC 2 Type 2 attestation seal

We are thrilled to announce Wherobots has received its SOC 2 Type 2 attestation report, reinforcing our commitment to data security and data privacy for our customers.

SOC 2 (Systems and Organization Controls) is a standard trusted by industry leaders and a requirement for many enterprises engaging with software providers. It evaluates an organization’s information security practices, ensuring that controls are prompt and effective, and that data is kept secure and confidential. While a Type 1 attestation assesses policies and procedures at a single point in time, the Type 2 attestation we have received demands a rigorous, in-depth evaluation and audit of the effectiveness of the implemented controls over time.

To view our SOC 2 Type 2 report, or more information on our security policies, please view our Trust Center or contact us at security@wherobots.com.

Why this matters

There are billions of devices roaming the world, logging petabytes of data from trips, activities, and events. Satellites and drones are scanning the world, capturing what’s happening on Earth, how its changing, and how humans terraforming it. This data can be highly sensitive and highly valued. With Wherobots, businesses can utilize this data from the physical world at a distinguished scale, price-performance, and ease, while keeping data secure and in their control.

With Wherobots’ cloud-native Lakehouse architecture, you can bring Wherobots’ capabilities for spatial and non-spatial data analytics and AI at planetary scale – right to your data, wherever it lives.

Security first

Security is not just a feature, it’s part of our engineering culture and infused into how we design and build our software, our internal systems, and our production environments.

Wherobots Cloud was developed from the ground up with best practices and secure-by-design principles that work backwards from data security first. In its architecture, the Wherobots Cloud control plane is isolated from its compute plane, and each workload is isolated from the cloud hypervisor up to create a trusted environment for your data. This architecture is serverless by default, but can also run its compute plane in your own cloud VPC (BYOC).

Wherobots is the distinguished and obvious solution for spatial computation and AI on the lakehouse. Our SOC 2 Type 2 report, available on the Wherobots Trust Center, is now available to expedite procurement, vendor, and security reviews.

Key takeaways

  • Wherobots has received a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation report, the industry-trusted audit of security and confidentiality controls over a period of time—not a Type 1 point-in-time snapshot of policies.
  • The report is available from the Wherobots Trust Center or by emailing security@wherobots.com, and is intended to speed procurement, vendor, and security reviews.
  • Wherobots Cloud isolates the control plane from the compute plane, and isolates each workload from the hypervisor up. The service is serverless by default and can also run its compute plane in the customer AWS VPC (BYOC).
  • The lakehouse architecture brings spatial analytics and AI to data where it already lives, rather than requiring customers to surrender custody of sensitive trip, activity, satellite, or drone data.
  • Docs cover service principles, audit logs, SAML SSO, and related security capabilities for teams going through enterprise review.
