What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 compliance is a framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to assess the effectiveness of a service organization’s protection of customer data. It applies to technology and cloud-based companies that store, process, or transmit sensitive information.

SOC 2 focuses on 5 “Trust Services Criteria”:

1. Security is the practice of protecting systems and data from unauthorized access.
2. Availability requires that systems remain operational and accessible as agreed.
3. Processing integrity means that IT systems must process data accurately and completely.
4. Confidentiality involves securing information that is meant to stay private.
5. Privacy requires personal information to be strictly managed according to stated policies.

What is The Difference Between SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 Type 1 verifies that your controls are properly designed as of a specific date, while SOC 2 Type 2 verifies that those controls are properly designed and consistently function as intended over a set period.

Here is a side-by-side view of the key differences.

Both certifications require strict processes for storing, accessing, and removing data. These rules apply to all phases of the data lifecycle. Our compliance status shows that every stage of handling client data meets recognized international requirements.
