SOC 2® Overview

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a framework designed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to assess and report on the controls relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a service organization's systems. It provides a comprehensive and independent assessment of how well an organization manages data security and compliance in line with industry standards. SOC 2 reports are valuable for demonstrating trustworthiness to clients, partners, and stakeholders, particularly for companies that handle sensitive data or provide outsourced services. Achieving SOC 2 compliance involves implementing robust controls and practices to ensure the security and privacy of customer data.
