In the course of a SOC 2 examination, an impartial third-party service auditor, such as Securis360, evaluates your internal controls and business processes against the relevant and selected SOC 2 trust services criteria. Subsequently, a report is generated by Securis360, which you can then share with customers and other stakeholders, assuring them that their data is secure in your care. A Type 1 SOC 2 Report is beneficial for organizations seeking to showcase their dedication to data security to stakeholders and customers. This report assesses the effectiveness of your controls and processes, focusing on their design and implementation at a specific point in time. A Type 2 SOC 2 Report provides an assessment over an extended period, usually six months or more. Throughout the examination, the auditor evaluates the effectiveness of your controls, assessing both their design and implementation, and examines their operational efficiency in aligning with your chosen trust services criteria categories.

In today’s data-driven environment, ensuring the security of sensitive information is critical. SOC 2 compliance, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), provides a robust framework to evaluate a service organization’s security controls. Securis360 is your trusted partner in achieving and maintaining SOC 2 compliance, helping you demonstrate your dedication to safeguarding client data.

What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) focuses on the secure management of customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria (TSC): security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. This framework is essential for service providers and third-party vendors responsible for handling sensitive information, including SaaS companies and other technology-based organizations.

SOC 2 compliance involves two main types of reports:

Type 1 SOC 2 Report

  • Evaluates the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time.
  • Ideal for organizations showcasing their initial commitment to data security.

Type 2 SOC 2 Report

  • Provides an extended assessment over a period (typically six months or more).
  • Examines the operational effectiveness of controls alongside their design and implementation.

A SOC 2 report assures your customers and stakeholders that their data is secure and managed responsibly.

SOC 2 Report Types Explained

  • SOC 1
    Focuses on financial reporting controls. It is relevant for organizations whose services affect user entities' financial statements.
  • SOC 2
    Addresses controls related to the five Trust Services Criteria (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy). Restricted use reports, ideal for customer and partner assurance.
  • SOC 3
    Similar to SOC 2 but intended for public distribution. SOC 3 reports provide high-level assurance without revealing sensitive information.
