In the supply chain, data is power—a critical asset for your business and, unfortunately, a prime target for potential attackers. At FDC Solutions, we believe that providing powerful applications for inventory, orders, and tracking is only half the solution; the other half is ensuring that the infrastructure hosting that data is impenetrable.
This is why FDC Solutions has made the strategic decision to partner with LightEdge, entrusting their “security-first” cloud infrastructure to host our supply chain applications. In industries like distribution, logistics, and retail, where sensitive information abounds (inventory levels, customer orders, payment details), we require a partner built from the ground up to safeguard this data.
We chose LightEdge because they offer the robust security, necessary regulatory certifications, and proven trustworthiness that FDC—and, most importantly, our customers—demand. Here is how this partnership secures your supply chain’s most critical asset: your data.
Security-First Infrastructure with 24/7 Protection
For FDC, security cannot be an afterthought; it must be woven into every layer of the cloud. As cyber threats evolve and regulations tighten, our customers need infrastructure that is always a step ahead.
We chose LightEdge because they enable this proactive stance with an always-on Security Operations Center (SOC) that provides constant vigilance and real-time threat detection. Their experts monitor for anomalies 24/7/365, ready to respond to any suspicious activity before it can impact your operations.
For our customers, this means your FDC applications and sensitive databases are under watch around the clock, even when your own IT staff are off-shift. LightEdge’s platform is built to proactively detect and resolve anomalies, minimizing the risk of breaches or downtime. Furthermore, you gain enterprise-grade protections by leveraging their state-of-the-art security operations center, without the cost of building and maintaining your own. FDC trusts LightEdge because it delivers a fortress-like cloud environment, allowing you to focus on managing your supply chain while security experts guard your data.
Certified Compliance (PCI, HIPAA, and Beyond)
Supply chain businesses often handle highly regulated data, whether it’s credit card information in retail or patient-related data in pharmaceutical logistics. Maintaining compliance can be a significant burden.
We chose LightEdge because their cloud comes pre-certified for a broad range of compliance standards, removing that huge burden from your plate. From day one, the environment hosting your FDC Solution meets stringent requirements for data protection and privacy.
LightEdge maintains robust certifications and auditable controls for frameworks like PCI DSS (for payment data), HIPAA/HITECH (for health data), HITRUST, SOC 1/2/3, and ISO 27001, among others. For a logistics provider or a retailer, this built-in compliance is invaluable: any FDC Solution deployed on LightEdge automatically resides in an environment that meets the strictest standards. We provide continuous compliance support, including audit assistance, to ensure you stay compliant as regulations change. This comprehensive approach is key to allowing even smaller IT teams to achieve enterprise-grade compliance without Herculean effort.
Trust Through Proven Experience
While security certifications on paper are essential, FDC’s trust is ultimately earned through real-world performance.
We chose LightEdge because of their track record of protecting mission-critical data for highly regulated clients, including banks and financial technology firms. Their focus on security as a core tenet and their solid reputation supporting organizations with fully compliant infrastructure were exactly what we were looking for.
This pedigree gives our supply chain customers peace of mind. By hosting FDC’s applications on LightEdge, we are offering a level of data protection comparable to that used by the financial and healthcare industries. LightEdge’s enterprise-grade security with 24/7 SOC monitoring is a true business enabler, allowing you to operate confidently in an era of escalating cyber threats.
In summary, FDC chooses LightEdge’s compliant cloud because it delivers security-first design, continuous compliance, and a trustworthy track record—exactly what’s needed to secure your supply chain data.
