Contact SupplierWhat is SOC 2 Type I & Type II?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a globally recognized framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for managing customer data based on five trust service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 reports are essential for technology-driven and cloud-based companies that handle sensitive customer information.
SOC 2 Type I evaluates the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time. It provides a snapshot of whether systems and controls are properly designed to meet trust principles.
SOC 2 Type II assesses the operational effectiveness of those controls over a defined period, typically 3 to 12 months, offering deeper assurance of ongoing compliance.
The latest guidance for SOC 2 is aligned with the 2017 Trust Services Criteria, updated by AICPA to reflect modern risks, including cybersecurity and data privacy.
SOC 2 – Overview
SOC 2 certification is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each report is tailored to the specific systems and controls relevant to the organization’s operations. It is widely adopted by SaaS providers, fintech firms, IT service companies, and any business handling cloud data. SOC 2 strengthens customer trust by demonstrating that adequate internal controls are in place and consistently maintained to safeguard data and ensure service reliability.

Security – Protection of systems against unauthorized access and breaches.
Availability – Ensuring systems are available for use as agreed upon.
