How Qargo Protects Your Transport Data

Running a transport and logistics business means you're handling sensitive information every single day. Whether you're running a 3PL, a pallet network, a haulage fleet, a carrier service or even specialist operations, your customers trust you with their most important data. At Qargo, we take that responsibility seriously. Data protection isn't something we've bolted on as an afterthought, it's woven into the very fabric of our platform.

Find out how we make sure your information stays exactly where it should be: safe, secure, and always available when you need it. Cloud-native security that's always up to date Remember the headache of managing on-premise servers?

The constant updates, security patches, and that nagging worry about what might go wrong overnight? And when things break, you have to wait ages until they're fixed! Plus we've all heard the horror stories, like the recent SharePoint zero-day exploit , that caught businesses off guard because they missed one single update.

With Qargo, those sleepless nights are behind you. Our platform lives entirely in the cloud on Google Cloud Platform, which means you get enterprise-level security without any of the maintenance stress. Here's what that looks like in practice:

Your team can access the platform securely from anywhere without relying on a single physical server in one location
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection via Google Cloud Armour
Machine learning systems trained to detect and block high-volume attacks
Robust, always-up-to-date infrastructure managed by Google's security experts

ISO 27001 Certified to the gold standard (and we're proud of it!)

We're ISO 27001 certified, which might sound like corporate jargon, but it's actually a big deal. Think of it as the transport industry's equivalent of having your O-licence. It proves we meet the highest international standards for keeping your information secure.

What does this mean for you? Independent auditors regularly check that we're doing everything right, from protecting your data with military-grade encryption to staying ahead of potential threats. It's like having a security MOT that we pass with flying colours, year after year.

Your data gets the VIP treatment Every piece of information in Qargo, from your initial transport order through to proof of delivery, gets the full security treatment. We're talking about multiple layers of protection that would make a bank jealous:

End-to-end encryption that keeps your data locked tight, whether it's moving between systems or sitting safely in storage
AES-256 encryption for everything we store (that's the same level used by governments for those juicy top-secret files)
TLS 1.3 protocols ensuring every data transfer is as secure as it gets
Encrypted communication across every single system interaction

Secure access for your teams

Good security isn't just about keeping the bad unauthorised guys out. It's also about making sure your team can get to what they need, when they need it, without any fuss. Shockingly, a 158-year-old UK transport company a recently collapsed after hackers guessed a single weak employee password.

And that's exactly why Qargo supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) for extra security and single sign-on (SSO) with SAML so your team can log in once and access everything they need. Plus, our granular access controls mean everyone sees exactly what they need for their role- nothing more, nothing less. Because in transport, one weak password shouldn't be able to bring down decades of hard work.

Built-in business continuity that's always on In transport, downtime means lost revenue, frustrated customers hunting you down for answers you don't have, and sleepless nights. We get that it isn't an option.

That's why Qargo is designed to keep your business running, no matter what. There are no physical servers sitting in a cupboard somewhere that might fail when you least expect it. No manual backups that someone might forget to run.

No single points of failure that could bring everything crashing down around you. Instead, you get automatic backups that happen without you thinking about them, multiple data centres across different countries so if something goes wrong in one place you're still covered, point-in-time recovery that can get you back up and running fast if the unexpected happens. Plus 24/7 monitoring with smart alerts that spot potential issues before they become real scary problems.

Final thoughts The bottom line? While you're focused on keeping your business moving and making your customers happy, we're working around the clock to make sure your data stays safe and secure.
