Iveda Solutions Received Stamp of Approval from the DHS

What Does It Mean for Our Customers?

Iveda Solutions has been approved as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology provider under a formal SAFETY Act Designation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In effect, the designation is the US Department of Homeland Security seal of approval. This means that after months of rigorous application and due diligence process, which involved the DHS interviewing some of the Company’s customers, the DHS granted Iveda Solutions the SAFETY Act Designation. Iveda Solutions is the first and currently the only company, offering Real-Time IP video hosting and remote surveillance services with a SAFETY Act Designation.

SAFETY Act Designation gives liability protection for providers of anti-terrorism technologies and their customers. By contracting or using a SAFETY Act designated or certified company to provide a function within your organization, you effectively shield your company from liabilities from a terrorist act, stemming from the failure of that designated company’s technology or service.

Under the Act, a terrorist act is defined as:  

• Criminal activity
• Injury or harm to a person
• Malicious attacks

Iveda Solutions’ Designation protects our customers utilizing our video hosting and real-time surveillance services, our partners reselling these services, and vendors we use for enabling these services.

According to Homeland Security and Defense Business Council “if a company purchases and deploys or implements a SAFETY Act-approved technology (whether Designated or Certified) and is sued following an act of terrorism for real property or personal injury damages that are caused by the qualified anti-terror technology, the customer also has the right to seek immediate dismissal of the civil claims – a very unique and powerful defense. ” [1]
