SPECTRA Trust Center

Held to the standard we certify

SPECTRA verifies the security of managed service providers (MSPs) and works with broker partners to help them get better cyber insurance. MSPs trust us with detailed evidence of how they protect their business and their clients. That's why we hold our own security to the same standard we ask of every MSP we certify.

Verified certification

Independent certification confirms the strength and maturity of our security program.

ISO 27001

SPECTRA's information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the international standard for information security. It covers our people, processes and technology, and it includes continual risk management.

Security built into every layer

PRISM and the systems behind it are secure by design. Protection covers data, access and infrastructure.

Data encryption

Sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Access control and identity management

Multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, role-based access and least privilege protect access to our systems.

Data control

MSPs can ask to see, correct or delete their data. We delete an MSP's data when its agreement with us ends.

Independent testing

Third parties regularly run penetration tests and vulnerability scans on our production environment.

Secure cloud infrastructure

Our systems are hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. Production data is replicated across multiple availability zones and backed up daily.

Threat detection

Intrusion detection, centralized logging and managed endpoint protection alert our team to suspicious activity.

Trust and confidence for MSPs and your clients

Privacy by design

SPECTRA is committed to protecting personal data at every layer.

Privacy is built into PRISM and our certification process from the ground up. We collect what we need to certify MSPs, we protect it, and we use it only for that purpose.

Our privacy-first practices include:

  • Purpose limitation and data minimization. We process only the data we need to certify MSPs and deliver our services.
  • User rights management. MSPs and their users can ask to see, correct or delete their data.
  • Transparent and secure processing. Clear policies and controls keep data secure and make us accountable for how we handle it.

Responsible AI

Where we use AI to support our work, it follows three principles:

  1. Human oversight

    A SPECTRA certifier makes every certification decision.

  2. Data protection

    AI tools must meet the same security and privacy standards as all our other vendors.

  3. Transparency

    We tell MSPs where and how AI supports our certification process.

We practice what we certify

Every day, we ask MSPs to prove their security with evidence, not promises. We hold ourselves to the same bar.
