What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a framework for managing and securing sensitive data within organizations, particularly in the context of technology and cloud services. It was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and is based on five key Trust Services Criteria:

  1. Security: Ensuring that the system is protected against unauthorized access, both physical and logical.

  2. Availability: Ensuring that the system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.

  3. Processing Integrity: Ensuring that system processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized.

  4. Confidentiality: Ensuring that data classified as confidential is protected according to confidentiality agreements or laws.

  5. Privacy: Ensuring that personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed in conformity with privacy principles.

SOC 2 is especially important for service organizations that handle client data, as it provides assurance that these organizations have the necessary controls in place to protect sensitive information. It is commonly used by SaaS (Software as a Service) providers, technology companies, and other businesses that store or process customer data.

Achieving SOC 2 compliance means that an organization has passed an audit conducted by an independent third-party firm (usually a CPA), which assesses the organization’s systems, processes, and controls against the relevant Trust Services Criteria. This helps build trust with clients and partners by demonstrating that the organization is committed to maintaining high standards of data security, availability, and privacy.
