SOC 2 Compliance &
Certification.

Build absolute customer trust and demonstrate your commitment to data security with expert SOC 2 compliance and audit support.

The Gold Standard

What is SOC 2?

System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 is a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It specifies how organizations should manage customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

It is crucial for SaaS and cloud businesses because they host sensitive data off-premises. A SOC 2 report proves you have controls to protect that data.

Compliance vs. The Audit Report

Compliance means implementing security controls. The SOC 2 Audit Report is the formal, third-party attestation proving your compliance to customers.
