What is SOC 2? 

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized security framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). 

It evaluates how organizations manage customer data based on five key trust principles – Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

Unlike a traditional certification, SOC 2 is an independent audit report conducted by accredited CPA firms. It verifies whether a company’s security controls are properly designed and operating effectively over a defined period of time.
