ST Imaging and nextScan Software Solutions Included in Recent Digital Check Corp. SOC 2 Type 2 Certification
July 10 2024 - 9:00AM
Digital Check Corp., including its divisions ST Imaging and
nextScan, has been certified as System and Organization Controls
(SOC) 2 Type 2 compliant in accordance with the standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA). These include the availability and
confidentiality criteria, in addition to the security criteria, the
company announced. The certification covers all corporate systems,
as well as ST Imaging’s PerfectView software for digital microfilm
reading and nextScan’s microfilm conversion application,
nextStarPLUSTM.
This marks the first time that software products of ST Imaging
and nextScan have been formally included in Digital Check’s SOC
certification process.
ST Imaging’s ViewScan® reader and PerfectView software are used
to display microfilm or fiche in digital format, and are typically
sold to institutions like libraries and archives for ongoing access
to film collections on-site. NextScan’s high-speed scanners and
nextStarPLUS software are for bulk conversion of large film
archives. In both cases, data security is an important part of the
process.
“By its nature, microfilm reading and digitization is a
data-intensive business, and a small but significant amount of that
data could be considered sensitive,” says Rich Chaney, vice
president and general manager of ST Imaging and nextScan. “It’s
important for our clients to know they can trust us with that
information, and that we follow the same high standards for
protecting it regardless of whether it’s in physical or digital
format.”
Meeting SOC 2 Type 2 standards requires a comprehensive audit of
an organization’s systems and procedures over a period of at least
six months. The ST Imaging and nextScan software
certifications in particular represent a key milestone for the
business units.
“It’s easy to think of a digital microfilm scanner as a piece of
physical hardware, but the software that displays or converts the
data is just as important to the process, if not more important,”
Chaney says. “When we work with sensitive information for
government agencies, or with archives that contain confidential
company or personal data, we follow industry best practices and
take the job seriously.”
