Outrider, a pioneer in autonomous yard operations for logistics hubs, has become the first company in its sector to achieve SOC 2 Type 2 certification, validating its commitment to enterprise-grade information security. The audit, conducted by Prescient Security, a global authority in security and compliance for B2B SaaS providers, confirms that Outrider’s governance, controls, and policies meet the stringent requirements of Fortune 500 enterprises that depend on secure logistics operations.
“As cyber risks grow increasingly complex, organizations must know that AI-driven logistics systems are designed with security at their foundation,” said Bob Hall, Chief Operating Officer at Outrider. “While indoor warehouse automation has long-established compliance frameworks, outdoor autonomous systems introduce unique data security challenges. By securing SOC 2 Type 2 certification, Outrider has proactively addressed these concerns, ensuring protection across autonomous yard operations.”

Over the last year, Outrider invested significant resources to assess and strengthen its technology stack. This effort included testing its cloud platforms, APIs, and infrastructure against strict benchmarks, implementing threat detection tools, multi-region failover mechanisms, and robust backup protocols across leading cloud providers—Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. The company also adheres to secure software development lifecycle practices to safeguard critical autonomous functions such as obstacle detection and braking. The certification further confirms that Outrider maintains mature processes for anomaly monitoring, incident response, and consistent application of security controls.
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 is a defining milestone, particularly for innovative industries such as autonomous vehicle operations,” said Sammy Chowdhury, Chief Compliance Officer and Co-Founder of Prescient Security. “Outrider’s achievement reflects its dedication to best-in-class compliance practices and provides customers with confidence that sensitive data is protected at the highest level.”

This milestone builds on Outrider’s broader safety credentials. The company is already among the few industrial autonomy providers worldwide to receive a TÜV SÜD safety review, confirming that its proprietary safety approach aligns with TÜV SÜD’s Autonomous Vehicle Conformity Framework (AVCF). Together, the SOC 2 Type 2 certification and TÜV SÜD validation position Outrider as a trusted partner for enterprises deploying AI-powered logistics systems.
“Security and safety go hand in hand—one reinforces the other,” noted John Stein, Head of IT Operations at Outrider. “In today’s fast-evolving threat landscape, resilience and trust must be embedded from the start. With SOC 2 Type 2 certification and advanced safety validation, enterprise CISOs can confidently adopt and scale Outrider’s autonomous yard technology.”
With freight movement at distribution hubs becoming more reliant on autonomous systems, Outrider’s certification underscores its role as a leader in building secure, resilient, and enterprise-ready logistics automation solutions.
