SOC 2 Compliance

Systems and Organisation Controls (SOC) 2 assures security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy of your systems.

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is a security framework that supports organisations to protect customer data. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 aims to ensure that systems can assure security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy of information.

​

AICPA is the governing body of the SOC framework and sets the standards that auditors use for SOC 2 examinations. SOC 2 requires organisations to document and follow comprehensive information security policies and procedures.

​

It requires monitoring unusual, unauthorised, or suspicious activity, often at the system configuration and user access level. A continuous security monitoring service is the best way to track unusual activity in the cloud and by establishing a baseline for "normal", aberrations become clear.

Benefits of SOC2 Compliance

Brand Reputation
SOC 2 compliance is evidence that an organisation has taken all necessary measures to prevent a data breach. This fosters credibility and enhances your brand reputation.
Competitive Edge
Being SOC 2 compliant undoubtedly gives your business a competitive edge. Businesses prefer partnering with vendors who have demonstrated a commitment to preventing data breaches and many require a SOC 2 audit to prove their security. 
Marketing Advantage
No matter what a company claims, it can’t prove its security without passing a SOC 2 audit. SOC 2 compliance is a great selling point; your organisation can proudly market your adherence to rigorous SOC 2 standards.
Be a Preferred Choice
Many businesses prefer working with SOC 2 compliant vendors, so for organisations seeking business growth, SOC 2 compliance is crucial.
Operating Effectiveness
SOC 2 audits mandate testing operational effectiveness and recording evidence over the course of six months. SOC 2 audits ensure high standards for information security in operation.
Improved Services
By undergoing a SOC 2 audit, you can improve your organisation's security measures and streamline operational efficiency. This will also lead to better customer service.
Assured Security
A SOC 2 audit and compliance assures customers that your organisation meets established security criteria, is protected against any unauthorised access, and has implemented measures to prevent data breaches.
Regulatory Compliance
SOC 2 requirements are already in sync with HIPAA and ISO 27001 certification. Once your organisation is up to speed with SOC 2, achieving compliance with other regulatory standards will be a piece of cake. 
Reduced Audit Effort
SOC 2 reports can be shared with multiple customers, reducing the need for individual security audits and questionnaires. This can save time and resources.
