DOWNLOAD the SOC 2 COMPLIANCE GUIDE
SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports were released by the AICPA with the sole purpose of addressing the need of companies to externally validate that they maintain a secure program and environment. The SOC 2 framework provides great assurance to businesses, customers, and partners that an organization prioritizes these key attributes when delivering a service or product: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
SOC 2 demonstrates to your customers that you have the proper people, processes, and technology in place to both handle security incidents and respond accordingly.
