What is SOC 2?
Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 defines criteria for managing customer data based on five “trust service principles” - security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.
SOC 2 compliance reports are unique to each organization; each designs its own controls to comply with one or more of the trust principles. These internal reports provide you (along with regulators, business partners, suppliers, etc.) with important information about how your service provider manages data.
