Locus Announces Its Environmental SaaS Will Support Broader EHS Compliance Initiatives at a Top Oil & Gas Corporation

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 7, 2024Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, today announced that one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies elected to expand its worldwide Locus software license to include additional functionality, regions, and sites. This expansion includes Locus EIM for additional regions, Locus’ EHS compliance platform, and Locus’ purpose-built Waste Management application to provide a scalable, single system of record for enterprise-wide waste management. The implementation will span the company’s worldwide business units, commencing immediately in the US, followed by Africa in 2025, and the remainder of the company’s regions in 2026. This agreement follows a rigorous, six-month pilot deployment at a large refinery site, including thorough proof of concept testing, vendor capability analysis, and scalability and usability testing.

Under the new Master Service Agreement, the oil and gas company expanded its existing use of Locus EIM to also become the system of record for its environmental-based analytical laboratory and field data in Australia.

“Locus has supported this prestigious company with our flagship EIM software since 2003,” said Neno Duplan, Founder and CEO of Locus Technologies. “As they continue to prioritize environmental risk management and expand their EHS compliance and ESG initiatives, Locus is pleased to respond with enhanced technologies to drive data integrity, accessibility, and reporting across the enterprise with Locus Platform. We are pleased that one of our longest customers continues to recognize the power and scalability of the Locus SaaS solution and selected Locus as their system of record for waste management and compliance.”

Locus Technologies Successfully Completes SOC 1 and SOC 2 Audits

Locus becomes the only EHS Software provider with both valid verifications of its financials, operations, and security

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 30, 2024Locus Technologies, the only science-driven software company at the nexus of sustainability and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) compliance, today announced the successful completion of its Type 2 SOC 1® and Type 2 SOC 2® audits as of July 5, 2024, for the period of July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The company considers these more rigorous “type 2” audits and the subsequent third-party attestation reports to be further evidence of its leadership, integrity, and security in the EHS software and ESG reporting markets.

The SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits were conducted by leading compliance assessor A-LIGN, a technology-enabled security and compliance partner trusted by more than 2,500 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.

“Organizations are drowning in ‘Big-environmental-Data’ and inadequate spreadsheets and home-built databases, so they are eager to move to an EHS Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) they can trust,” said Neno Duplan, Founder and CEO of Locus. “Our Type 2 SOC 1 and Type 2 SOC 2 verifications give companies the confidence they need to make the move to Locus, especially amid cybersecurity threats and an unstable climate of corporate consolidation in the EHS and ESG software markets. Locus remains independent—and independently verified.”

By adhering to the stringent requirements of System and Organization Controls (SOC) audits, Locus demonstrates its commitment to protecting sensitive customer data against cyber threats and operational failures. This builds trust with customers, assuring them that their data is secure and managed according to the highest industry standards and helps Locus comply with various regulatory requirements.

“Locus prides itself on helping customers be accurate and credible in their environmental, health, and safety monitoring and reporting. This is particularly true for ESG reporting where greenwashing is clouding the credibility of reporting. Earning current third-party validation of our own processes is an important way to demonstrate our credibility in the market,” continued Duplan.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 1 is an examination of controls at a service organization that are likely to be relevant to user entities’ internal control over financial reporting; the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, financials, procedures, and operations have been formally reviewed.

“Congratulations to Locus Technologies for completing their SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, a widely recognized signal of trust and security,” said Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN. “It’s great to work with organizations like Locus who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report.”
