SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2)
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an established set of standards created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to assess the effectiveness of an organization’s data security and privacy controls. SOC 2 conformity measures a company’s capability to protect information of its customers, as well as maintain the availability of systems, integrity of processes security, confidentiality, and protect privacy.
SOC 2 Compliance audits determine whether the security policies of the company and procedures are in place and comply with the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria. SOC 2 audits of compliance give assurance to regulators, customers and other stakeholders that the company has taken the proper steps to secure its systems and data.
