Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Cantaloupe, Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating. While the company demonstrates a commitment to security with SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and PCI-DSS Level 1 certifications, and utilizes point-to-point encryption, reports suggest significant software vulnerabilities. A vulnerability report allegedly identified 242 total vulnerabilities (37 critical) in v4.1.11 and 97 total (19 critical) in v5.0.5, raising concerns about their vulnerability management effectiveness. In other areas like fair pay, ethical sourcing, and environmental impact, there is insufficient public data to provide a comprehensive assessment.
