Compliance Made Easy with Ordr

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – December 22nd, 2021 – Ordr, the leader in connected device security, today announced that the company has successfully completed the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 audit for the Ordr Systems Control Engine. Developed by the American institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 defines criteria for managing customer data in accordance with five key service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Ordr’s SOC 2 certification demonstrates its commitment to robust information security and the implementation of controls, systems, and processes to protect sensitive customer data.

“Protecting our customers’ business is our top priority, which requires strict controls to secure their data, ” said Pandian Gnanaprakasam, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Ordr. “We’ve invested heavily in our security programs and operations. Today’s SOC 2 announcement is a testament to the rigor and diligence in the way we build our product, run our cloud and data center operations, how we protect our IT assets, and  how we secure our customer instances on a daily basis. It demonstrates to our customers our commitment to security, and is another example of how Ordr is leading the connected device security market.”

To complete the audit, Ordr engaged with an independent third-party auditing firm, who performed an extensive audit and examination of Ordr Systems Control Engine systems, tools, processes and operations. This rigorous and comprehensive audit validated that Ordr controls were implemented properly in the following areas:

• Information security policies and procedures
• Systems, information, network, infrastructure security
• Secure software development methodologies
• Employee engagement and training
• Customer support
• Vendor management
• Cloud and data center operations
• Risk mitigation and incident response
• Logical and physical access controls

“With cybersecurity attacks hitting the headlines every week, security vendors play a critical role in securing any customer data outside the confines of an organization’s own technical infrastructure. As a result, SOC 2 certification is a key requirement for CISOs when they look at partnering with a new security vendor. Achieving SOC 2 compliance means that Ordr’s existing and future customers can be confident that their data is being handled with the proper security, confidentiality and privacy controls,” said Greg Murphy, CEO, Ordr.

The Ordr SCE platform provides comprehensive visibility and security into all connected devices  including workstations, servers, PCs and tablets, loT, IoMT, and OT. Customers discover granular details about every connected device, gain actionable insights into threats, vulnerabilities, or anomalous behavior, and can automate the implementation of proactive, reactive, or retrospective policies to rapidly mitigate risk.

Santa Clara, CA – November 7, 2023 – Ordr, the leader in connected device security, today announced the appointment of Kevin Arsenault as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Kevin comes to Ordr with more than twenty years of leadership experience building and managing high-performing sales teams for successful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cybersecurity companies. As CRO, he will be focused on driving growth and accelerating the significant market momentum of the company.

Most recently, Kevin served as Vice President of Sales, North America, for cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, where he proved to be a catalyst for strong revenue growth, helping grow and position the company for a 2019 initial public offering which saw share value double upon debut. Prior to that, he was Vice President, Worldwide Advanced Security and Information Governance Sales at cybersecurity company Proofpoint, building that company’s sales team and revenues in advance of a 2012 IPO that opened to a 30% share price increase.

“Kevin’s experience leading sales teams and driving profitability will play an immediate and essential role here at Ordr, as we solidify our position as the technology and market leader in connected device security,” said Jim Hyman, Ordr CEO. “As he has done before, Kevin will use his experience building high-performing sales organizations and his knowledge of the cybersecurity market to maximize our customer-facing efforts, helping to ensure that our solutions exceed all customer expectations.

Throughout his career, Kevin has maintained a maniacal focus on customer satisfaction, with an emphasis on helping customers solve their cybersecurity problems. A graduate of Boston College’s Carroll School of Management, early in his career he also led successful sales teams at Internet Security Systems (ISS), which was acquired by IBM

“Because of the constant expansion – and resulting complexity – of modern IT environments, it has become increasingly difficult for security teams to maintain true visibility into what assets they have, what they are doing, and the cyber risks they bring,” Arsenault said. “Ordr’s platform gives customers the ability to gain full asset inventory of what’s on their network, identify and address any vulnerabilities and threats, whether they’re caused by a failure to apply patches, software end-of-life, or a newly discovered zero day exploit, and secure these assets with automated policies.” 

Ordr delivers granular visibility for IT, Internet of Things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) assets and a comprehensive view of an organization’s entire attack surface, including visibility into security gaps, potential risks, anomalous behavior, and active threats. Compromised assets are automatically identified, along with the added context of where they are located and details of their operations. Ordr uses insights on assets to manage cyber exposure, rapidly respond to a cyber incident, and mitigate potential issues. Zero Trust segmentation efforts are also accelerated by automating policies that restrict assets to only essential communications required for their functions.

Santa Clara, CA and Dubai, UAE – March 14, 2023 – Ordr, the leader in connected device security, today announced its partnership with Dubai-based Spire Solutions, the Middle East & Africa region’s leading cybersecurity solution provider and value-added distributor (VAD). Spire Solutions will offer its channel partners Ordr`s award-winning attack surface visibility, asset management and security platform across multiple specialized verticals including healthcare, government, finance and banking, insurance, oil and gas, manufacturing, retail, and telecommunications.

Organizations in the Middle East are increasing their adoption of connected devices, including Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT). Each new device, however, also increases the attack surface, and the potential for a security breach or cyberattack. In order to keep the connected enterprise secure, full visibility is needed into devices and their vulnerabilities, along with automated policies to secure them – whether during an incident, proactively or retrospectively.  

Sanjeev Walia, Founder and President of Spire Solutions said, “It is a challenge to truly protect your organization unless you have accurate, real-time information about which devices are connecting to your network – and what they do once they connect. We are honored to partner with Ordr to address these challenges and enable our channel partners and end-user customers to benefit from industry-leading technology that truly enables customers to manage their entire attack surface whether that be traditional IT, IoT, OT or IoMT.“

“The Middle East is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and we’re proud to partner with Spire Solutions in this region. Spire Solutions has a proven track record of providing best-in-class security solutions and we’re honored to work with a team who shares our commitment to customer success, and protecting the organizations entrusted to us.” said Kieran Wood, Sales Director, EMEA at Ordr.

“This partnership exemplifies Ordr’s commitment to investing in the global, collaborative partner ecosystem and represents another step forward in our international expansion plans,” said Jim Hyman, CEO at Ordr. “Organizations in the Middle East will now be able to accelerate their digital transformation journey and reduce cyber risks by unlocking unparalleled visibility into assets, vulnerabilities and threats.”

With the addition of Ordr’s AI-powered connected device security platform to the Spire solutions portfolio, all assets, connections and network flows can be profiled. By baselining normal behavior for connected assets, organizations can create policies to only enable appropriate access while limiting exposure, enabling a true Zero Trust security posture to be realized. Together, Ordr and Spire will provide customers and partners across the Middle East with unmatched security services, instant value and advanced expertise as they improve their cyber resilience. 

This strategic partnership is being celebrated at GISEC Global 2023, taking place this week at the World Trade Centre in Dubai. To learn more, please visit Ordr and the Spire Solutions team at stand A50, Hall 7.
