Front Named a Gartner 'Cool Vendor' in Digital Workplace Programs and Applications
The Customer Communication leader also achieves SOC 2 Type II certification for security, availability, and confidentiality
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Front, the leader in customer communication, was recognized in Cool Vendors in Digital Workplace Programs and Applications published November 20, 2020 by leading analyst firm, Gartner, Inc. According to the report, "with remote work being the new normal, organizations need to promote a healthy remote work culture and enable workers with applications and tools for enhanced collaboration and improved effectiveness." Front, which transforms the email inbox into a powerful hub for customer communication and internal collaboration, was recognized as one of three vendors in the report.
Front also recently secured SOC 2 Type II certification, proving that its solution is designed to keep its customers' sensitive data secure. Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 defines the criteria for managing customer data based on trust service principles. Type II certification is only achieved after policies and procedures have been evaluated for at least six months and has become a key requirement for large organizations evaluating SaaS providers.
"Front brings all customer messaging, business apps, and internal collaboration together in a single, familiar place — the email inbox," said Nate Abbott, Head of Product at Front. "Organizations with different team-specific tools and customized workflows for collaboration and customer communication can centralize their work in Front. This means that organizations trust Front with large volumes of business-critical information that must be handled securely, making our SOC 2 Type II certification all the more important, especially to our larger customers."
