SOC 2 or Systems and Organization Controls 2 “is a security framework that specifies how organizations should protect customer data from unauthorized access, security incidents, and other vulnerabilities. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) developed SOC 2 around five Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
An SOC 2 ‘Type II’ report assesses how the company’s controls function over a certain period, which is usually 3-12 months. Secureframe, the platform that helps companies become SOC compliant faster recommends Type II reports for a fundamentally essential reason, “A Type I report can be faster to achieve, but a Type II report offers greater assurance to your customers.”
BuzzBoard Country and Operations Head VP Manish Joshi commends the team over this recent success. “Getting the SOC 2 Type 2 compliance certificate was a team effort with members across all departments contributing to this success.” He further adds, “This certification is not merely a recognition of our existing security and privacy protocols but solid proof of our unwavering commitment to the highest data protection and operational integrity standards.”
