*About SOC 2*
In 2017, the AICPA introduced the term "system and organization controls" (SOC) to refer to the suite of services practitioners may provide relating to system-level controls of a service organization or system- or entity-level controls of other organizations. SOC 2 is a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations that specifies how organizations should manage customer data. A SOC 2 report is tailored to the unique needs of each organization. Depending on its specific business practices, each organization can design controls that follow one or more principles of trust. These internal reports provide organizations and their regulators, business partners and suppliers with important information about how the organization manages its data. SOC 2 Type I describes the organization's systems at a particular moment in time and whether the system design complies with the relevant trust principles. SOC 2 Type II details the operational efficiency of these systems.
