How SOMA is Safeguarding Sensitive Information

We are excited to announce a significant upgrade to our system, specifically designed to prioritize data security and compliance. With the recent addition of CJIS/HIPAA Permissions, we have taken a significant step in safeguarding sensitive information within our critical response platform. Authorized users can now seamlessly access and review confidential data while maintaining the highest level of protection. This feature ensures that only individuals with proper authorization have the ability to view sensitive information, creating a secure environment for critical data management. By implementing CJIS/HIPAA Permissions, we aim to address regulatory requirements and provide our users with enhanced control over data access and privacy. This advancement reinforces our commitment to maintaining the utmost security standards and ensures compliance with CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations.

Welcome Chris Maloney:

Industry-Proven CEO Took the Helm at SOMA

Chris, as the former founder of TriTech Software Systems which eventually became Central Square Technologies, what inspired you to take on the role of CEO at SOMA Global?

I have always been deeply passionate about public safety software and the potential of our technology to make a meaningful impact in this field. When I learned about SOMA Global’s unwavering mission to transform public safety technology into the cloud with all the benefits it has to offer and improve the safety and lives of front-line professionals and their communities, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Having served on SOMA’s board for the past two years I knew the alignment of my passion, expertise, and SOMA’s vision made it the perfect fit for me to contribute to this important cause in a more meaningful and hands-on way. At TriTech we created the largest and most successful public safety software company in the world. Very few of us get to do that twice.

How do you envision SOMA Global making a difference in the public safety industry?

At SOMA Global, we are leveraging cloud-based low code technology to create solutions that are much quicker to deploy, easier to support and that provide vastly improved solutions in the field. These new age tools have the power to revolutionize public safety technology by delivering innovative solutions that streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and improve overall safety outcomes. Deployments take days instead of months, fixes are in hours instead of months and we can diagnose painful client issues in minutes. That’s what this industry wants and needs.

What excites you the most about leading SOMA Global?

The most exciting aspect of leading SOMA Global is our team and our products. For the first time in many years a company in our space has the opportunity to drive real change. We have a talented team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about creating transformative solutions and have decades of real world experience in public safety as police officers, firefighters and EMTs. This highly qualified team is harnessing the power of technology to empower front-line professionals and enhancing the safety and well-being of the communities we serve. The potential for impact and the chance to shape the future of public safety technology is incredibly motivating and invigorating. It’s pretty heady to be back in the seat and working with such a great team!

How do you plan to foster innovation within SOMA Global?

Innovation is at the core of our mission at SOMA Global. To foster a culture of innovation, I believe in encouraging creativity, embracing new ideas, and providing an environment that nurtures experimentation and continuous improvement. In reality, nothing really good comes from a bunch of engineers sitting around dreaming about the next big thing. Real innovation happens when a stellar team collaborates with a stellar partner/client to create something truly transformative. That’s what’s really impressed me about the SOMA mission. We did that and now I get to execute on that vision. How cool is that?

What message would you like to convey to the public safety community about SOMA Global's commitment?

SOMA is the real deal and we have people here who care about what our clients do to their core. It shows in how we create product, deliver on our implementations and support our clients to help them in achieving their mission. At SOMA I don’t have to convince our folks to do the right thing. They’re already waking up and delivering a solution to a code red at 2:00am long before I even hear about it. The cloud lets us connect to our clients instantly when they need help and deliver a fix to their problem within minutes. That doesn’t happen with other companies in our space. That commitment to our clients is uniquely “SOMA”.

Chris Maloney brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for public safety and technology to his role as CEO of SOMA Global. With his leadership, SOMA Global is poised to transform the public safety tech landscape, driving innovation, and making a lasting impact on the lives of front-line professionals and the communities they serve.
