What Is SOC 2 Compliance?
SOC 2 stands for System and Organization Controls 2. It is an auditable information security standard developed by the American Institute for CPAs (AICPA) that provides guidance on critical security processes and practices for managing customer data. SOC 2 compliance is validated during a CPA firm’s audit against one or more of the five SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria:
- Security
- Availability
- Processing Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
Organizations typically pursue SOC 2 attestation to build trust with clients and meet regulatory or contractual obligations. Based on their products and/or services, they decide which of the five criteria are relevant to address.
