SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized framework designed to evaluate the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of an organization's systems and data. SOC 2 compliance is essential for businesses that handle sensitive data, particularly in industries such as technology, healthcare, and finance, where trust and security are paramount.
SOC 2 is a standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), focusing on five key trust service principles:
The journey begins with an initial assessment to evaluate your current security practices. Our experts conduct a detailed review to identify any gaps between your existing processes and SOC 2's requirements.
Based on the assessment, we work with you to implement the necessary security controls across your systems and processes to meet SOC 2 criteria. This step includes documentation and the establishment of best practices around data handling, user access, and system monitoring.
Before the official SOC 2 audit, an internal review is performed to ensure that all security controls are operational and that processes align with SOC 2 standards. This step helps identify any areas that need improvement before the external audit.
The Type I audit focuses on whether your security controls are properly designed and implemented at a specific point in time. An independent auditor evaluates your controls and determines if they meet SOC 2 requirements.
The Type II audit goes beyond a point-in-time assessment, evaluating whether the security controls are consistently operating effectively over a period (usually 6 to 12 months). This is a more in-depth audit, assessing the operational effectiveness of your security measures.
Following the audit, you will receive a SOC 2 report detailing the results of the audit. If you pass, you will receive the SOC 2 certification, which you can share with clients to demonstrate your compliance.
Achieving SOC 2 compliance is just the beginning. Regular audits, continual monitoring, and refining your security practices are necessary to maintain certification and improve your organization's security posture over time.
