If you're leading a construction project today, chances are you're juggling a dozen things at once. Tight deadlines, subcontractor coordination, cost control, and client expectations.
But there's one more thing that should be on your radar: data security.
More construction companies are turning to AI and digital tools to speed up workflows, automate reports, and make sense of project data. And it’s working. But as job sites go digital, they're also becoming prime targets for cyberattacks.
In an industry where project data is everywhere—from tablets in the field to cloud dashboards in the office—you need to know your data is protected. That's why having a robust security system isn't just a nice-to-have. It's the foundation of a promise to keep your business safe, efficient, and future-ready.
Let’s break down what SOC 2 really means in construction terms, and how KYRO combines AI and enterprise-grade security to give you both speed and trust.
Five years ago, most field teams were still working off spreadsheets, whiteboards, and PDFs. Today, project data is flying back and forth between field and office: punch lists, RFIs, budgets, safety forms, photos, invoices. And with the rise of remote collaboration, that data is living in more places than ever before.
That’s good news for productivity. But it also opens the door to serious cybersecurity risks.
In fact, a 2024 Sophos report found that 62% of businesses in construction and property had experienced ransomware attacks recently, placing the sector among the most targeted globally. Energy and Utilities followed closely, ranking third on the list.
A follow-up 2025 Sophos survey confirmed that 43% of ransomware incidents across construction and utility companies stemmed from known security gaps and lack of in-house cybersecurity expertise.
And the worst part? Most firms don’t realize how exposed they are until it’s too late.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls Type 2) is an independent, third-party audit that verifies a software company on what it is doing to protect customer data.
It evaluates five core areas:
For construction leaders, this boils down to one thing: peace of mind.
SOC 2 ensures that your platform provider has strict processes in place to:
When a platform is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, it means they passed rigorous testing over time. Not just once. Not just a checklist. But sustained discipline to protect you, your projects, your data, and your partners.
Construction managers must ensure that any platform they choose for project management is secure, reliable, and compliant. Look for solutions with SOC 2 Type 2 certification, end-to-end encryption, and active threat monitoring. A secure platform helps protect sensitive jobsite data, prevent costly breaches, and meet client and regulatory expectations without slowing down operations.
KYRO didn’t just aim for the minimum when it came to compliance. Our SOC 2 Type 2 certification was completed with zero exceptions. That’s a rare outcome in any industry. And in the construction industry, where data is always moving from all corners, it's more critical to protect the data than in any other industry.
Here’s how we keep your data safe while helping you work faster:
KYRO is built on Microsoft Azure, one of the most trusted cloud providers in the world. It’s the same platform used by banks, hospitals, and the U.S. government.
Azure provides:
So, when you use KYRO, you’re standing on rock-solid infrastructure that’s designed for reliability and safety.
Whether you're submitting a daily log from the field or viewing a budget dashboard in the office, your data is encrypted from start to finish.
That means:
We use strong encryption because your data deserves nothing less.
We don’t just rely on good practices. We have active, real-time monitoring 24/7 in place to detect and block suspicious activity. At KYRO, we use cutting-edge tools like Cloudflare etc to identify unusual patterns (like failed login attempts or unauthorized file access) and respond instantly.
Whether you’re a SMB or an enterprise using KYRO, even if there’s a small threat, we ensure that we know about it. And we’re on it.
AI is the engine that powers a lot of what KYRO does: auto-generating reports, cleaning field data, forecasting budgets, identifying delays. But all of that automation is backed by secure architecture.
Every AI feature we deploy goes through the same scrutiny as our infrastructure: compliance reviews, encryption protocols, and strict access controls.
So, you can move faster without opening yourself up to unnecessary risks.
It’s easy to think security is "an IT thing." If you’re a:
...then you need to know the data you're working with is protected.
And if you still ask why, imagine:
These are more than tech issues. They’re business risks. And we don’t want any of that for you.
With our SOC 2 Type 2 certification, you don’t have to worry about those "what ifs."
At KYRO, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between efficiency and security. We built our platform to give you both.
You get tools that help you win more bids, avoid costly delays, and make confident decisions—without putting your company, partners, or clients at risk.
Every day, construction companies are embracing AI and moving more of their operations online. That’s a good thing. But if your tech partners aren’t putting security first, they could be exposing your business to threats you can’t see until they show up as a lawsuit, a delay, or a lost client.
KYRO is proud to be part of a new generation of construction platforms that combine AI-driven speed with a strong and robust cybersecurity protection system.
Because we know it’s not just about building faster—it’s about building smarter, and safer.
