U.S. Department of Homeland Security Goes with Geotab for Telematics

Geotab, a provider of telematics technology, has been awarded a five-year blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to provide secure telematics solutions for the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The agreement provides for DHS component agency fleet managers to integrate Geotab’s telematics solutions to access actionable data insights for fleet optimization, productivity and improved safety and sustainability.

The Department of Homeland Security operates a fleet of over 52,000 vehicles, making them, according to Geotab, one of the largest federal agencies to issue a telematics blanket purchase agreement of this scale.

According to Neil Cawse, CEO, Geotab, “Our platform security is designed for end-to-end protection of data. In order to protect our customers and partners, Geotab is constantly reviewing, improving and validating our security mechanisms and processes, so our systems remain resilient.”

 As a vertically-integrated telematics provider, Geotab manages the entire technology stack from the in-cab hardware and embedded firmware used to encrypt and transmit data, to the secure server-side hosting and software applications. With security at the forefront of Geotab’s innovations, rigorous organizational data security measures are embedded in each solution through meticulous data collection, transmission, and storage encryption that meet industry best practices in cybersecurity.

Additionally, Geotab engages third-party penetration testers and services from accredited cybersecurity laboratories to identify vulnerabilities ahead of time.
