TripStax, a leading provider of business travel technology, has reinforced its commitment to data security, achieving critical auditing and certification milestones that underscore its dedication to protecting client information. Following a thorough auditing process, TripStax has once again earned ISO 27001 certification, now for the second consecutive year. Notably, this year’s certification extends to include the newly launched TripStax Hotels module, further expanding the company’s robust security framework.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised information security standard developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). It provides a comprehensive framework for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an information security management system (ISMS). Achieving this certification is a significant endorsement of TripStax’s commitment to aligning with global best practices in information security, ensuring their systems are equipped to handle sensitive data securely.
In a further demonstration of its commitment to data protection, TripStax has also attained ISO 27018 certification. This standard is particularly relevant for cloud service providers, setting guidelines for handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in cloud computing environments. By adhering to these standards, TripStax ensures that privacy principles such as consent, choice, and legitimacy are rigorously upheld, providing clients with added assurance in their data handling practices.
Adding to these achievements, TripStax has successfully completed its Type 1 SOC 2 audit, a rigorous cyber-security compliance framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). This audit focuses on how service organisations like TripStax manage customer data, with specific criteria around security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The completion of this audit underscores TripStax’s commitment to securely storing and processing client data, a cornerstone of its service offering.
“Our entire technology and business model is built on providing innovative solutions that allow travel management companies (TMCs) and corporations to manage travel data more effectively,” said Scott Wylie, Chief Technology Officer at TripStax. “With millions of data transactions processed annually through the TripStax Core and our cloud-based modules, the security, separation, and integrity of client data are paramount.
“It’s crucial that we can reassure our customers their data is safe, supported by robust management systems. The ISO certifications and SOC 2 audit are voluntary processes, but for us, they’re essential. We’re proud to have met these rigorous standards, which clearly demonstrate that our clients can trust TripStax to protect their data with the highest levels of security,” Wylie added.
These achievements not only highlight TripStax’s ongoing commitment to data security but also reinforce its position as a trusted partner for TMCs and corporations looking to manage their travel data in an increasingly digital world.
