SOC 2 At a Glance
SOC 2, or Service Organization Control 2, is a type of audit report that evaluates how well a service organization handles and secures its customers' data. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 framework is built on five Trust Services Criteria.
There are two types of SOC 2 assessments. SOC 2 Type I reports detail how a company compares to the controls at a single point in time. SOC 2 Type II reports are dynamic and assess how a company compares against the controls over a period of time — generally, 3-12 months.
SOC 2 Type II is more thorough, as it evaluates controls and processes over the extended period of time.
Our Zero to SOC 2 (Z2S2) team combines certified cloud security engineers with seasoned GRC specialists to ensure your SOC 2 Type II audit is executed with confidence, speed, and agility.
Benefits of Obtaining a SOC 2 Type II Report
-
Many businesses, particularly those in highly regulated industries such as healthcare or finance, require their service providers to have SOC 2 reports to demonstrate that they have appropriate controls in place to protect sensitive data. Having a SOC 2 report can make it easier to attract and retain these customers.
-
A SOC 2 report provides an independent, third-party assessment of a service organization's controls and processes. This can increase the trust and credibility that customers have in the service organization.
-
Going through the SOC 2 audit process can help service organizations identify areas where they need to improve their controls and processes. This can help reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents.
-
Having a SOC 2 report can give service organizations a competitive advantage over competitors that do not have a SOC 2 report.
-
In some cases, having a SOC 2 report may help service organizations comply with regulatory requirements. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires certain healthcare service providers to have appropriate controls in place to protect patient data. A SOC 2 report can help demonstrate compliance with these requirements.
