SOC-2 Compliance
What is SOC-2 Compliance?
SOC-2 (Service Organization Control 2) compliance is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It focuses on evaluating the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy of data within service organizations.
SOC-2 compliance is specifically designed for technology and cloud-based service providers that manage confidential customer information. Its focus is on verifying that these organizations have put in place strong safeguards and controls to protect the sensitive data that is under their stewardship.
To achieve SOC-2 compliance, service organizations undergo a comprehensive audit conducted by independent third-party auditors. The audit evaluates the organization's policies, procedures and practices to determine whether they meet the stringent criteria set by the AICPA.
The audit assesses various aspects of data security, including network security, system monitoring, access controls, data encryption, incident response, and physical security measures. It also evaluates the organization's ability to maintain the availability and integrity of its systems and data.
The SOC 2 consists of two reports:
- Type 1 - describes the information security management system and evaluates its adequacy with respect to the standard control points.
- Type 2 - assesses whether the information security management system actually functions (describing evidence of security functioning over a minimum period of six months).
