Make SOC 2 your next strategic business milestone
For organizations providing business-to-business services involving sensitive or personal data, there is increasing pressure to demonstrate a strong cybersecurity posture - not just through documented policies, but with clear evidence that controls are operating effectively over time.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) is an attestation engagement under SSAE 18, an independent examination that demonstrates, through a report, how an organization manages and protects customer data. It evaluates controls relevant to the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) - Security (Mandatory), Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity and Privacy. The report and associated attestations are provided by a Certified Public Accountant, and is performed in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) standards.
72% of organizations that achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance reported improved data security practices. source >
SOC 2 Attestation Journey
SOC 2 is most valuable for US-based companies, organizations serving US customers, and international businesses expanding into the US market - particularly B2B service providers whose operations may affect clients’ financial reporting, as it delivers targeted assurance that complements the broader scope of ISO/IEC 27001.
With SOC 2, there are two types of report:
Type 1: An optional initial ‘moment in time’ report to check all the appropriate controls have been designed correctly.
Type 2: Assesses the operational effectiveness of the controls over time – typically requires 12 months of data.
