In a world where geopolitical conflicts are increasingly moving into cyberspace and companies are often targeted by cybercriminals seeking financial gains, cybersecurity has never been more important than it is today.
Beebop helps leading energy companies capture the value in flexible distributed energy resources across the globe. Our customers are operating critical infrastructure and care deeply about security. Furthermore, delivering these services requires handling privacy-sensitive meter data.
This post will outline the security measures we have in place to ensure sensitive data is always protected, from industry-leading certifications to our secure data handling practices.
Industry-Leading Certifications
Beebop is proud to hold both the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications, two of the most respected and rigorous frameworks for information security. An independent and accredited auditor reviews the organization's processes, policies, and security controls and delivers a certificate or attestation report. Where ISO 27001 is a more international standard and preferred in Europe, SOC 2 is the de facto standard in North America.
Beebop started its certification journey in the beginning of 2025. Because of our global customer base, we decided to pursue both certifications to show our commitment to protecting sensitive customer data and reducing cyber security risks. By the end of summer, we successfully completed the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 audit processes.
Software development lifecycle
An essential part of cyber security in an organization like Beebop is developing a secure software development lifecycle. This starts with providing high-quality security training to the team. We build our platform with an iterative process that ensures all code that ends up in production has gone through extensive testing, ranging from static application security testing (SAST) to unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
Reports show a 34% increase of exploitation of vulnerabilities as the initial access vector for breaches. To counter this risk, we use a number of tools to continuously scan for vulnerabilities in our third-party dependencies and container images.
Automated bots continuously scan the public internet for vulnerable services, and it can take as little as 22 minutes for your service to be exploited after a CVE is published. This is why, once our software passes all of the previously described gates and gets deployed to production, it is deployed in a private network to minimize the attack surface. Internet traffic is routed by a hardened application load balancer and web application firewall (WAF) operated by our cloud provider.
In addition to periodic automated application vulnerability scans, Beebop is committed to performing yearly penetration tests of the entire platform and supporting infrastructure in collaboration with third-party security experts to proactively identify and address complex security flaws before they can be exploited.
Protecting customer data
In the context of critical infrastructure layers such as Beebop, it’s important to maintain clear segregation between the data of different customers. All data that enters the system is clearly tagged with a customer ID, and is stored using either logical or physical separation.
To prevent data leakage, Beebop committed to processing all sensitive data within the secure perimeter of our private cloud networks. This allows us to audit log access to the data as well as implement the principle of least privilege and stay in control of who can access the data. In many cases, there is also a regulatory requirement to process the data within the country of origin, which we can accommodate by leveraging the global network of regions cloud providers offer today.
Data of course, has to be transported into our cloud environment before it can be processed. We work together with our partners and customers to ensure private and strongly encrypted channels are available to achieve this.
In this day and age, companies building critical infrastructure layers cannot afford to neglect cyber security, especially in a critical sector like energy. Our commitment to protecting your critical systems and sensitive data resulted in a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy. We defined a robust, secure software development lifecycle, which we are continuously improving. Furthermore, we protect customer data by ensuring clear data segregation and processing all sensitive data within the secure perimeter of our private cloud networks using encrypted channels and the principle of least privilege. To provide independent validation of these security commitments, we have successfully completed third-party audits under ISO27001 and SOC 2.
We invite you to reach out with any further questions about how we protect our customer data. For a detailed view of our implemented security controls and certifications, please visit our Trust Center at https://trust.beebop.ai.
