SOC 2 Certification | SOC 2 Compliance & Service
SOC 2 Certification is one of the most trusted security frameworks for service organizations. Developed by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants), SOC 2 ensures that companies handling customer data follow strict, audited information security controls. It is widely adopted by SaaS companies, cloud providers, IT service firms, data centers, and managed service providers.
SOC 2 evaluates whether your organization protects customer data across the five Trust Service Criteria (TSC):
Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
In simple terms, SOC 2 proves that your internal systems, controls, and processes are secure, reliable, and built to prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and operational risks.
What Is SOC 2 Compliance?
SOC 2 compliance demonstrates that your organization has implemented and maintains effective security controls. It validates your ability to safeguard sensitive data, making it essential for companies that store, process, or manage customer information.
SOC 2 helps organizations:
- Build customer trust
- Win enterprise clients
- Reduce security risks
- Strengthen operational resilience
- Stand out in competitive industries such as SaaS, FinTech, and cloud services
