SOC 2 Resources

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a compliance framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how well service organizations manage customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

For SaaS companies, cloud providers, and any organization processing customer data, SOC 2 has become the gold standard for demonstrating security practices to enterprise customers.

• Type I: Point-in-time assessment of control design
• Type II: Assessment of control effectiveness over 3-12 months
• Essential for selling to enterprise customers
• Demonstrates commitment to data security
• Often combined with other frameworks (ISO 27001, HIPAA)
