SOC 2 compliance is determined by a technical audit from an outside party. It mandates that organizations establish and adhere to specified information security policies and procedures, in line with their objectives. SOC 2 compliance covers a 12-month timeframe, to ensure that a company’s information security measures are in line with the evolving requirements of data protection in the cloud.
Being SOC 2 compliant assures your customers and clients that you have the infrastructure, tools, and processes to protect their information from unauthorized access both from within and outside the firm.
