What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It examines how a service organization manages customer data against five Trust Service Criteria — security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.
Types of SOC 2 reports
- Type I report: evaluates the design of security processes at a specific point in time.
- Type II report: assesses how effective those security processes are over a period, typically six months or more, providing a more comprehensive validation of compliance.
Understanding the Trust Service Criteria
- Security The protection of system resources against unauthorized access.
- Availability Ensuring systems and information are available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
- Processing integrity System processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely and authorized.
- Confidentiality Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed.
- Privacy Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed and disposed of in conformity with the commitments in the entity's privacy notice.
