Dutchie has become the first full-stack technology company serving the cannabis industry to earn a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 compliance certification with a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) attestation. This certification confirms the company’s effort to protect all sensitive customer information. The compliance was verified by a third-party auditor and applies to Dutchie POS, E-commerce, and payments offerings.
“As the cannabis industry continues to grow, ensuring that sensitive personal data is kept safe and secure is only going to become a bigger priority,” Dutchie’s chief technology officer Chris Ostrowski told Benzinga. “Dutchie is proud to be the first full-stack technology platform to earn one of the highest compliance certifications for consumer data protection. The independent third-party verification underscores our commitment to helping retailers streamline their operations while remaining compliant and providing consumers with safe and easy access. I want to thank our entire team for the time and effort that went into earning this certification and for their dedication to helping propel the industry forward.”
The threat of hacks, data leaks, and fraud in this booming industry is immense. To ensure data is protected across its offerings, Dutchie underwent a rigorous third-party audit to examine customer data security, availability, and confidentiality across solutions. With the addition of SOC 2 Type 1, Dutchie is the first cannabis technology provider to achieve a HIPAA attestation, which is critical for enterprise and multi-state operators (MSO) businesses.
Some markets require dispensaries and their business associates to be HIPAA compliant, meaning they prove efforts to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal health information (PHI). Legally classified as a “business associate,” Dutchie is compliant with regulations under HIPAA and earned this certification to support customers in any market.
