Former Employee An abomination, avoid at all costs. This is all you need to know...
Verkada, a security camera company, has faced significant scrutiny and legal action regarding its marketing practices.
Specifically, the US government, through the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), has accused Verkada of engaging in deceptive marketing and unfair practices. These allegations led to a settlement where Verkada agreed to pay a $2.95 million penalty and accept restrictions on its marketing and information security practices.
The company's violations included:
CAN-SPAM Violations: Verkada was accused of sending millions of unsolicited emails without providing proper unsubscribe options or including a physical address, leading to a significant penalty for CAN-SPAM violations.
Misrepresenting Security and Compliance: Verkada was alleged to have made misleading claims about its compliance with data protection standards like HIPAA and Privacy Shield frameworks.
Undisclosed Relationships: The company failed to disclose that some positive online reviews were from its employees and an investor.
Data Security Concerns: The FTC also raised concerns about Verkada's inadequate security measures, which allowed a hacker to access sensitive video footage.
