In a significant development for the electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure landscape, Vontier Corporation's subsidiary Driivz has successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit, as announced in a press release on February 5, 2025. This milestone underscores Driivz's commitment to data security and operational integrity in the rapidly growing e-mobility sector.
1. What is SOC 2 Type II Certification?
The SOC 2 Type II certification, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is a rigorous standard that evaluates an organization’s controls regarding data security, confidentiality, and privacy over a defined period. The audit, conducted by PwC, has confirmed that Driivz adheres to stringent protocols for protecting sensitive user and operational data.
Significance of the Certification
Driivz's certification is a pivotal achievement, reinforcing its promise to provide a secure environment for EV charging networks and drivers. The company is dedicated to protecting sensitive customer data, including billing information, personally identifiable information (PII), charging session details, and energy usage data.
According to Shachar Inbar, Vice President of Business Operations and Presales at Driivz, “At Driivz, we believe in not just meeting standards but exceeding them, while providing our customers with cutting-edge solutions that inspire trust and confidence.” Inbar further emphasized that the SOC 2 Type II certification serves as a vital trust mechanism, showcasing their ability to safeguard data while ensuring system reliability.

Charging network operators, fleet managers, and energy providers are increasingly concerned about unauthorized access and potential breaches. The SOC 2 Type II attestation assures Driivz's partners that their sensitive data is secured against threats, thereby enhancing their operations and customer trust.
