SOC 2, or Service Organisation Control 2, is a framework governed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). An independent service auditor reviews an organisation’s policies, procedures, and evidence to determine if their controls are designed and operating effectively. A SOC 2 report communicates a company’s commitment to data security and the protection of customer information.
Improving your security posture
Achieving SOC 2 compliance exemplifies an organisation’s dedication to its customers’ trust and marks a significant milestone in enhancing overall security posture. In an era of increasing cybersecurity threats and data breaches, prioritising information security and system protection is crucial. By undergoing a SOC 2 audit, our controls and processes were validated by a third-party auditor, who attested to the effectiveness of the controls relevant to our application.
Why we pursued SOC 2 now
SOC 2 compliance is vital for demonstrating to customers, stakeholders, and interested parties that our organisation values their trust and has effectively implemented security controls. At our company’s current stage, we recognised the importance of protecting data and mitigating potential security risks early and consistently.
