Understanding SOC 2 Compliance
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a framework designed to help service organizations demonstrate their security controls and practices.
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 is an auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that ensures service providers securely manage your data to protect the interests of your organization and the privacy of its clients. SOC 2 defines criteria for managing customer data based on five "trust service principles"—security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
The Five Trust Service Principles
- Security: Protection of system resources against unauthorized access
- Availability: System availability for operation and use as committed or agreed
- Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, accurate, timely, and authorized
- Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed
- Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed in conformity with commitments
Why SOC 2 Matters
In today's digital landscape, data security is paramount. SOC 2 compliance demonstrates your commitment to protecting customer data and maintaining robust security practices. It builds trust with your clients and partners, giving you a competitive edge in the marketplace.
