SOC 2 Compliance
Prove your security, don't just claim it.
SOC 2 assures the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy of your systems, giving customers independent evidence that their data is protected.
The Framework
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 is a security framework that helps organisations protect customer data. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), it ensures your systems assure the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy of information.
​
The AICPA governs the SOC framework and sets the standards auditors use for SOC 2 examinations. Compliance requires you to document and follow comprehensive information security policies and procedures.
It also means monitoring unusual, unauthorised or suspicious activity, often at the configuration and user-access level. Continuous security monitoring is the best way to track unusual cloud activity, establishing a baseline for "normal" so anomalies become clear.
The Foundation
The five Trust Services Criteria
Every SOC 2 report is built on Security, the common criteria required in all engagements, with up to four further criteria selected to match the promises you make to customers.
Report Types
Type I and Type II, explained
SOC 2 comes in two report types. Which one you need depends on where you are in your journey and what your customers are asking for
Why it Matters
The benefits of SOC 2 compliance
Compliance is more than a certificate. It's a commercial asset that opens doors, shortens sales cycles and sets you apart.
