Security and Compliance at SmartBarrel
Your workforce data is sensitive. SmartBarrel treats them that way.
Independent validation
Trusted and Compliant
SmartBarrel is independently validated against recognized industry standards for data security and operational controls. SmartBarrel maintains these certifications through ongoing independent audits. Documentation is available for your legal or IT team on request.
SOC 1 Type 2
Payroll is one of your largest cost centers. SmartBarrel's SOC 1 Type 2 certification means the internal controls protecting your payroll data have been independently audited and verified.
SOC 2 Type 2
A SOC 2 Type 2 validates SmartBarrel's commitments to security, availability, and confidentiality of customer data. This is an ongoing audit that requires continuous monitoring and independent verification annually.
Operational protection
What SmartBarrel Security Means for Your Team
For a VP of Operations or CFO, security shows up in specific, practical ways:
- No buddy punching; every punch is biometrically verified.
- Every punch in and out are timestamped and geolocated.
- No manual time entry or foreman time-entry.
- Fully auditable timesheets with every edit logged.
Replace risk at the source
The companies most exposed to payroll fraud, billing disputes, and compliance risk are typically the ones relying on manual entry and paper timesheets.
SmartBarrel replaces that entire system with one that captures accurate time at the source.
Layered security
How SmartBarrel Keeps Your Data Secure
SmartBarrel uses multiple layers of protection within our portable time clock and mobile app that syncing data securely to your ERP.
Biometric verification at the point of capture
Every clock-in is tied to a verified worker. The system compares a photo against a worker's previous punches using AI, confirming it is the same person.
Encrypted data transmission
Time data moves from the TimeClock 4.0 device to the cloud over encrypted channels. Built-in LTE and offline mode means there's no dependency on jobsite WiFi, and no gap where data sits unprotected waiting to sync.
Secure cloud infrastructure
Data is stored in enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with strict access controls. Your records are available when you need them and protected from unauthorized access.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
SmartBarrel supports MFA on all dashboard accounts. Administrators can enforce it company-wide, or individual users can opt in through their security settings. Supported methods include Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and SMS one-time passwords.
Mobile App Privacy
Data is exchanged only when a worker logs in or out, refreshes their project list, punches in or out, or submits a report. All transmissions are encrypted. SmartBarrel does not share worker data with third parties.
Role-based permissions
Project managers see what they need to see. Payroll sees only what they needs to see. Administrators control what's accessible at each level.
Domestic hardware controls
FAR & NDAA Compliance
The TimeClock 4.0 is designed, assembled, and quality-controlled in the United States.
- Fully compliant with FAR and NDAA hardware requirements which means it can be used on federally-funded job sites, and approved to work with government contractors and defense projects.
- Hardware built and assembled domestically means tighter control over the supply chain, the components that go into each device, and the quality standards applied at every stage of production.
- There are no third-party overseas assembly facilities in that chain. The device that goes up on your jobsite is the same device built, inspected and packaged in our Miami, FL headquarters.
