What is SOC II, Type 2?
SOC II, Type 2 is a certification developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that sets the highest standard for how companies manage and secure customer data.
- SOC stands for Service Organization Control. It’s a set of criteria designed to help service organisations, like cloud-based (SaaS) software companies, establish and follow strict information security policies and procedures.
- SOC II is based on five “trust service principles”:
- Security,
- Availability,
- Processing integrity,
- Confidentiality, and
- Privacy.
These principles ensure that a system is secure, available as promised, processes data accurately, keeps confidential information protected, and maintains the privacy of personal information.
- There are two types of SOC II reports:
- Type 1 focuses on the suitability of a company’s system design at a specific point in time
- Type 2 goes further. It assesses the operational effectiveness of those systems over a period, typically six months or more. This means that a company with SOC II, Type 2 compliance not only has good security practices in place but also consistently applies these practices over time.
We chose Apicbase because it is a SaaS solution that thinks with us in solving complex business challenges. It’s a strong partnership.
