SOC 2
Compliance & Audit Readiness
SOC 2 is a widely recognized auditing framework that evaluates how organizations manage customer data based on five trust service principles.
Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is essential for SaaS companies and cloud providers that store or process customer information.
