Its Importance for Businesses
Its Importance for Businesses
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a vital cybersecurity framework designed to help service providers securely manage data, protecting both their own interests and those of their customers. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 evaluates an organization’s internal controls against five key Trust Services Criteria (TSC): Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Security is the only mandatory criterion for every SOC 2 audit, ensuring systems are protected against unauthorized access and threats.
SOC 2 focuses on five key Trust Services Criteria (TSC)
- Security – Protection against unauthorized access and breaches.
- Availability – Ensuring systems are operational and accessible as agreed.
- Processing Integrity – Ensuring accurate, timely, and valid data processing.
- Confidentiality – Protection of sensitive business and customer information.
- Privacy – Proper handling of personal information based on privacy principles.
Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters
Enhanced Customer Trust – Demonstrates a commitment to protecting customer data.
Competitive Advantage – Helps businesses stand out in security-conscious markets.
Regulatory Alignment – Aligns with global security best practices, aiding in compliance with other regulations.
Risk Mitigation – Reduces the likelihood of data breaches and financial losses.
