Cvent Demonstrates Continued Commitment to World-Class Data and Information Security
Cvent,
a market leader in meetings, events, and hospitality technology,
highlighted their continued dedication to information security at the
company's annual European user conference Cvent
CONNECT Europe in London. Among the announcements, Cvent (News - Alert) unveiled
their new European Data Center, allowing European customers to have full
confidence in the security and safety of their data as called for by
European regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR). The company also recently achieved SOC 1 and SOC 2 status across
their entire product platform, further solidifying their market-leading
position and commitment to world-class data and information security.
"The meetings and events industry is all about trust. It's built on the
idea of making face-to-face connections and establishing relationships
based on a handshake. When you are creating the technology that powers
these connections like we do at Cvent, the products better be able to
stand up to that same level of trust," said Ben Mayrides, Vice President
& Chief Information Security Officer at Cvent. "Through our continued
efforts to stay at the leading edge of data protection and compliance
within an ever-evolving regulatory landscape, we are able to confidently
say that our platform offers some of the highest levels of security in
the software marketplace today. As market leaders in event and
hospitality technology, we take great pride in offering world-class
security to our more than 25,000 customers and 300,000 users worldwide"
Cvent's security and compliance efforts and achievements include:
-
European Data Center: This new data center will offer world-class
security support like Cvent's other data centers but will have the
added benefits of having data stored locally and according to
additional European data protection regulations such as GDPR.
-
SOC 1 / SOC 2 Compliance: Considered the gold standard for security,
Cvent's SOC 1/SOC 2 compliance ensures that Cvent has the right
security in place and that controls are effective in mitigating
potential risks to their business and customers.

ISO 27001-2013: Cvent's successful achievement of ISO 27001 three
years running highlights the company's commitment to security and
offers high levels of assurance to customers.

safeguarding cardholder data by complying with these important
security standards to reduce credit card fraud and protect personal
data.
-

resources needed to maintain compliance with this expansive regulation.
-

existing Global Security team, enhancing security measures across
product lines and locations around the world.
