SOC 2, System and Organization Controls 2, is a framework designed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to evaluate the controls organizations implement to secure their data. It focuses on five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 Type I reports on the description of the controls at a specific point in time, whereas SOC 2 Type II also evaluates the effectiveness of these controls over a specified period. It helps organizations demonstrate their commitment to data security and compliance to clients and partners.
