SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an audit report examining a service organization's controls relevant to the AICPA's Trust Service Criteria—security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Unlike a certification, a SOC 2 report provides detailed independent assurance that your controls are suitably designed and operating effectively—giving enterprise customers the proof they need to trust you with their data.
Protection against unauthorized access (required)
System uptime and performance commitments
Protect confidential information as agreed
PII handling per regulations and commitments
System processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized
Security is mandatory. Select additional criteria based on your services and customer requirements.
Access controls, authentication, encryption, network security, vulnerability management, incident response. Mandatory for every SOC 2 examination.
System uptime, performance monitoring, capacity planning, backup and recovery, disaster recovery. For SaaS, cloud, and hosting with SLA commitments.
Data classification, encryption at rest and in transit, access restrictions, non-disclosure enforcement. For services handling trade secrets or proprietary data.
Notice and consent, data subject rights, retention and disposal, PII handling per GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations.
The majority of SaaS and cloud providers include these three criteria. Add Processing Integrity for payment/analytics platforms, or Privacy for PII-heavy services.

SOC 2 is an audit report examining controls at a service organization related to AICPA Trust Service Criteria. Cloud providers, SaaS vendors, data centers, managed service providers, and any technology company that stores, processes, or transmits customer data needs SOC 2. If enterprise customers ask about your security controls, you need it.
SOC 2 Type 1 reports on control design at a specific point in time. SOC 2 Type 2 reports on both design and operating effectiveness over a period (minimum 6 months, typically 12 months). Type 2 is the market standard—most enterprise customers require it as evidence that controls operated effectively throughout the period.
Security is mandatory for all SOC 2 examinations. Most SaaS and cloud providers include Security + Availability + Confidentiality. Add Processing Integrity if data processing accuracy is critical (payment processors, analytics). Add Privacy if you handle personal information subject to GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations.
SOC 2 Type 1 typically takes 4-8 weeks. SOC 2 Type 2 requires a minimum 6-month reporting period (12 months recommended) plus 6-10 weeks for testing and reporting. First-time organizations should plan 12-18 months from starting preparation to receiving their Type 2 report.
SOC 2 is an audit report based on AICPA Trust Service Criteria, primarily used in North America. ISO 27001 is a global ISMS certification. SOC 2 provides a detailed report; ISO 27001 provides a certificate. Many organizations pursue both—SOC 2 for US customers and ISO 27001 for global recognition.
SOC 2 audit costs typically range from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, complexity, Trust Service Criteria, and report type. Startups typically pay $20,000-$40,000 for Type 2. Use our free SOC 2 cost calculator for an instant estimate.
SOC 2 audits should be performed annually to maintain continuous assurance. Most organizations maintain a rolling 12-month Type 2 reporting period. Customers expect fresh SOC 2 reports (issued within last 12 months). Plan your next audit as soon as you receive the current report.
No. SOC 2 reports are restricted-use documents under AICPA standards. Share them with qualified prospects and customers under NDA. You can publicly display a SOC 2 badge or trust seal indicating you have been audited, but the detailed report must remain confidential.
