SOC-2 Compliance

What is SOC-2 Compliance?

SOC 2 compliance refers to meeting the standards set by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) for managing customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

It is especially important for technology and cloud-based service providers that handle sensitive customer information. A SOC 2 audit evaluates an organization's controls and processes to ensure they protect data appropriately, and the resulting report demonstrates a commitment to security and trustworthiness for clients and stakeholders.
