What you need to know:
- Greenlane secured SOC 2 Type 2 certification, strengthening data security, compliance, and EV fleet charging reliability
- The audit, conducted under AICPA standards, validates ongoing security controls for fleet charging platforms
- Its end-to-end cybersecurity framework, built on Microsoft Azure, supports secure commercial EV operations
- Backed by major partners, Greenlane is expanding electric truck charging corridors for zero-emission freight
As electric fleets continue to scale, operators are prioritizing things like security, compliance, and reliability in their charging networks.
Santa Monica, California.-based Greenlane has announced this demand has been addressed by completing its System and Organization Controls (SOC 2 Type 2) examination for the period from Dec. 1, 2024, through Nov. 30, 2025.
For those unfamiliar, a SOC 2 Type 2 examination is an independent third-party audit that evaluates how effectively a service organization safeguards customer data over a defined period. In Greenlane's case, the assessment was conducted by Minneapolis-based accounting and advisory firm Boulay PLLP in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Unlike a point-in-time review, a SOC 2 Type 2 examination verifies that security controls are not only appropriately designed, but also consistently operate as intended over an extended period of time.

"When fleet operators integrate with our platform, they're trusting us with data that is central to how their business runs," said Raj Jhaveri, chief technology officer of Greenlane. "The SOC 2 Type 2 examination gave us the opportunity to validate every layer of our security architecture against an independent, rigorous standard. That scrutiny makes us better, and it gives our customers the technical assurance they need to build on our platform with confidence."

End-to-end security
The review encompassed Greenlane's end-to-end security control framework, spanning identity and access management, change control, risk evaluation, incident response, and continuous system monitoring. The company's platform is built on Microsoft Azure, with auditors assessing controls at both the application layer and in alignment with the cloud provider’s supporting infrastructure controls.
Greenlane adds that in addition to its SOC 2 Type 2 certification, it still retains a SOC 1 report covering controls relevant to financial reporting.
"Commercial EV charging creates a complex data environment that demands rigorous security standards, and we want fleet customers to know that Greenlane is purpose-built for large-scale, high-stakes freight operations," added Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. "That responsibility doesn't end at the digital layer—the same standard we hold ourselves to on the platform side carries through to every site we operate. Drivers are out on these corridors at all hours, and whether that means protecting their fleet's data or ensuring our facilities are secure, Greenlane has their back. We believe this level of rigor should be the norm in commercial EV charging, and we intend to lead by example."
Greenlane on the rise
Last August, Greenlane, which was established by Daimler Trucks North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock, confirmed plans to establish its second commercial vehicle battery-electric charging corridor that'll connect Southern California to Phoenix, Arizona via Interstate 10.

A year ago, the company officially opened its flagship Colton, California charging hub, which was built in only eight months. It is located at the intersection of Interstates 215 and 10, and boasts over 40 high-speed chargers and numerous amenities such as a truck driver lounge packed with creature comforts like WiFi, food and drinks, and 24/7 customer service.
