Running a transportation and logistics business means you’re handling sensitive information every single day.
Whether you’re running a 3PL, a brokerage, a private fleet, or a specialized heavy-haul operation, your customers trust you with their most critical data.
At Qargo, we take that responsibility seriously. Data protection isn’t just a feature we “bolted on”—it’s woven into the very fabric of our transportation management solution. Here is how we ensure your information stays exactly where it should be: safe, secure, and available 24/7.
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? When things break, you’re stuck waiting hours—or days—for a fix. 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 over. Our platform lives entirely on Google Cloud Platform, giving you enterprise-grade security without the maintenance stress:
- Secure Access Anywhere: Your team can work from the office or the road without relying on a physical server in a closet.
- DDoS Protection: Industry-leading defense via Google Cloud Armor.
- Threat Detection: AI-powered systems designed to detect and block high-volume attacks.
- Proactive Infrastructure: Robust, always-current architecture managed by global security experts.
ISO 27001 Certified: The Gold Standard
We are ISO 27001 certified. While that might sound like jargon, it’s a major deal. Think of it as the industry equivalent of maintaining a perfect DOT safety rating. It proves we meet the highest international standards for information security.
What does this mean for you? Independent auditors regularly verify our processes—from military-grade encryption to proactive threat hunting. It’s like a rigorous Level 1 inspection that we pass with flying colors, year after year.
Your Data Gets the VIP Treatment
Every piece of information in Qargo—from the initial load tender to the Proof of Delivery (POD)—receives multiple layers of protection that would make a bank jealous:
- End-to-End Encryption: Your data is locked tight, whether it’s moving between systems or sitting in storage.
- AES-256 Encryption: This is the same level used by the US government for top-secret files.
- TLS 1.3 Protocols: Ensuring every data transfer is as secure as possible.
Secure Access for Your Team
Strong security is about making sure your team can get what they need, when they need it, without the fuss.
Shockingly, a long-standing transportation company recently collapsed after hackers guessed a single weak employee password.
That’s why Qargo supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML. Your team logs in once and stays secure. Plus, our granular access controls mean employees see exactly what they need for their role—nothing more, nothing less.
In this industry, one weak password shouldn’t be able to bring down decades of hard work.
Built-in Business Continuity
In trucking, downtime means lost revenue, frustrated customers, and missed deliveries. It isn’t an option. Qargo is designed to keep your business running, no matter what.
There are no physical servers that might fail when you least expect it. No manual backups that someone might forget to run. Instead, you get:
- Automatic Backups: They happen in the background so you don’t have to think about them.
- Redundant Data Centers: Your data is stored across multiple geographic locations for maximum uptime.
- Point-in-Time Recovery: Get back up and running fast if the unexpected happens.
- 24/7 Monitoring: Smart alerts that spot potential issues before they become problems.

The bottom line? While you’re focused on keeping your fleet moving and your customers happy, we’re working around the clock to keep your data secure.
