SOC 2 FAQ

A SOC 2 is an assurance to your customers and vendors that you take information security seriously. SOC 2 can be beneficial if a vendor is asking you to be compliant, you are required to have certification for a contract, or you want to have an advantage over competitors.

Type 1 focuses primarily on the design of security controls and Type 2 does a deeper dive to evaluate the actual effectiveness of those controls over time.

No. You are never “done” with SOC 2. Compliance needs to be maintained ongoing. There’s no such thing as achieving security. An annual audit is required to provide assurance that your controls continue to operate effectively.

We help prepare you for the SOC 2 audit to help ensure you pass, but we don’t perform the actual audit itself. We focus on improving overall security which leads to compliance being achieved and maintained.
