WHAT IS SOC 2

SOC 2 Audits and Reports

SOC 2, developed by the AICPA, ensures organizations protect customer data based on five principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

A SOC 2 audit, conducted by independent auditors, assesses whether your controls meet these standards. The results are compiled into a SOC 2 report, demonstrating compliance and building trust with customers, vendors, and partners—helping you close deals and expand into regulated industries.
