SOC 2

SOC 2, or Service Organization Control 2, is a framework designed to ensure that service providers securely manage data to protect the privacy and interests of their clients. It evaluates how well a company handles data based on five key principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Companies undergo audits to demonstrate compliance with these standards, giving clients confidence that their sensitive information is protected. This is particularly important for businesses that handle customer data, such as cloud service providers and software companies, as it reflects trustworthiness and commitment to security practices.
