Oncam, known for providing intelligent cloud video surveillance solutions, has successfully earned the System and Organisation Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 certification. This achievement follows a thorough independent audit of the company’s security measures and operational procedures.
The certification, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), ranks among the most demanding independent evaluations aimed at assessing how companies govern, manage, and safeguard customer data. The audit validated Oncam's compliance across various tested areas, such as access management, infrastructure security, monitoring, and incident response. No exceptions were noted, substantiating the efficacy of Oncam’s internal security systems and processes.
Robust security protocols
Scott Brothers, Chief Operating Officer at Oncam, highlighted the significance of attaining SOC 2 Type 2 certification, stating, “Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 certification is an important milestone for Oncam, as it validates the security and operational rigor across our entire platform.”
This audit spanned the Oncam ecosystem, evaluating elements from their cloud platform and cameras to firmware and mobile apps, showcasing that their controls function effectively. In the security sector, SOC 2 Type 2 is regarded increasingly as a standard requirement, reflecting Oncam’s dedication to enhancing compliance and maintaining robust security measures, thereby ensuring data protection for its customers.

The certification provides assurance to security integrators, technology partners, and end users that Oncam upholds strong controls for safeguarding sensitive information within the comprehensive video ecosystem.
The company employs infrastructure hosted on AWS, featuring data encryption during transit and at rest, alongside strict access control measures and vigilant system operations to secure both video data and customer information. Ragini Sidhu, Vice President of HR & Compliance at Oncam, noted, “Security and compliance are fundamental responsibilities for any organisation entrusted with managing sensitive video data.”

Sidhu further commented that the SOC 2 Type 2 audit independently confirms the design and functionality of Oncam’s policies, procedures, and operational controls throughout the business. For partners and customers, this signifies Oncam's commitment to disciplined governance, firm access controls, and ongoing oversight to ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
With video surveillance systems becoming increasingly intertwined with IT infrastructure and cloud services, this independent validation of security protocols is of growing importance. Oncam’s SOC 2 Type 2 certification assures that its platforms meet the ever-evolving security and compliance standards expected by partners and customers alike.
