SOC 2 is a framework designed to help organizations manage customer data securely. It focuses on five key trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Companies that undergo a SOC 2 audit demonstrate their commitment to protecting sensitive information and maintaining high standards of data management. The SOC 2 report is often required by clients, especially in industries like technology and finance, to ensure that their service providers meet specific security requirements. This report provides transparency about the organization's controls and processes, helping clients make informed decisions about their partnerships.
