What it means for your organisation

SOC 2 reports are issued by independent auditors to vendors complying with any or all of the five trust principles (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy).

Define audit scope
Choose the Trust Service Criteria to report on, and the SOC2 report type. Identify which controls and information assets address this scope.
Readiness assessment
Collect evidence and compare with SOC 2 compliance requirements. Identify control gaps, and bring them in line before your formal SOC 2 audit.
Pass formal SOC 2 audit
SOC 2 audits are performed by CPA firms, and are usually intense processes. Auditors interview many employees and seek high quality evidence.
