SOC2 Compliance Requirements



SOC2, or Service Organization Control 2, is a framework for measuring and reporting on the effectiveness of a service provider's internal controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC2 compliance is becoming increasingly important for service providers as they seek to assure their customers that they are taking appropriate steps to protect their data.


To become SOC2 compliant, a service provider must meet a set of requirements established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). These requirements include:

  1. Security - The service provider must have appropriate security measures in place to protect against unauthorized access, theft, and damage to sensitive data.

  2. Availability - The service provider must ensure that its systems and services are available and reliable, with minimal downtime or disruptions.

  3. Processing Integrity - The service provider must have controls in place to ensure that data is processed accurately, completely, and in a timely manner.

  4. Confidentiality - The service provider must protect the confidentiality of data by ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to it.

  5. Privacy - The service provider must have controls in place to protect the privacy of personal information, including appropriate data retention policies and procedures.

Achieving SOC2 compliance can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but it is essential for service providers that handle sensitive data. By demonstrating compliance with SOC2, service providers can differentiate themselves from their competitors and provide their customers with the assurance that their data is in safe hands.
