What is System and Organization Controls 2?

System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) is a security framework and compliance certification developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). An industry standard for service organizations, SOC 2 evaluates how a service organization controls and protects customer data.

How does SOC 2 work?

An independent CPA firm evaluates the organization’s controls against applicable trust services criteria, which can include security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Why is SOC 2 important?

SOC 2 reports give customers and business partners independent information about how an organization manages important controls and risks. When a service organization meets this industry standard, they are well positioned to expand into new markets and secure larger deals.

Benefits and use cases

• Independent validation of security and reliability controls
• Streamlined customer audits and questionnaires
