What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC, which stands for System and Organizational Controls, is a framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for the purpose of providing regular, independent attestation of the controls that a company has implemented to mitigate information-related risk.

There are three types of SOC audits: SOC1, SOC 2, and SOC 3. When it comes to cybersecurity, SOC 2 has become the de facto standard.

In a SOC 2 audit, you describe the policies, procedures, and systems you have in place to protect information across five categories called Trust Services Criteria/ Your independent auditor evaluates the evidence you supply for the controls in each category, and when completed you receive your official SOC 2 compliance report that you can share with customers and business partners to assure them that their data will be handled securely.
