Why Am I Being Asked about SOC 2 Compliance? (And What to Do About It)

Has your service organization been asked to provide a SOC 2 audit report or if it is SOC 2-compliant? As information security becomes increasingly relevant, service organization clients want to verify the controls their vendors have in place. SOC 2 reports are specifically designed to help service organizations demonstrate security, availability, processing integrity, and privacy controls.
If you’re being asked about SOC 2 compliance for the first time, you may be wondering why. It’s becoming increasingly common for organizations to request that their vendors become SOC 2 compliant so they can ensure that the companies they are working with are appropriately protecting their sensitive information
If you’re being asked to demonstrate SOC 2 compliance, or if you’re simply wanting to get ahead in your industry, engaging a third-party auditing firm to perform a SOC 2 audit is the right next step. SOC 2 compliance shows that you have matured the practices at your organization and are committed to gaining client trust.
Are you confident your internal controls are protecting systems that process sensitive information? Are you ready to decide whether a SOC 2 report is what your organization needs?
