AMITYVILLE, N.Y. — NAPCO Security Technologies announces 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, such as providing added security for all Napco’s dealers’ accounts.

“The company 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,” according to the company announcement.

“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,” the announcement says.
