Down below, we will walk you through the ins and outs of a SOC 2 report and how the report symbolizes trust to clients.
What Is A SOC 2 Report?
A SOC 2 report addresses risks associated with the handling and access of data and can be used by a variety of organizations of any size (e.g. SaaS, colocation, data hosting, etc.)
Rather than a cybersecurity assessment that evaluates specific technical configurations, a SOC 2 report focuses more on how an organization implements and manages controls to mitigate the identified risks to the different parts of an organization.
The SOC 2 audit testing framework is based on the Trust Services Criteria (TSC), which identifies various risks (points of focus) an organization should consider addressing.
Based on the TSCs the organization selects to be in scope, the third-party compliance and audit firm, A-LIGN, evaluates whether the organization has the appropriate policies, procedures, and controls in place to manage the identified risks effectively.
There are five Trust Services Criteria:
- Security
- Availability
- Processing Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
To pass a SOC 2 examination and receive a letter of attestation successfully, means an organization is addressing controls in areas such as information security, access control, vendor management, system backup, business continuity and disaster relief, and more.
A SOC 2 report highlights the controls in place that protect and secure an organization’s system or services used by its customers. The scope of a SOC 2 Examination extends beyond the systems that have a financial impact, reaching all systems and tools used in support of the organization’s system or services.
