SOC II Type 2
SOCII Type 2 certification is a validation of an organization’s compliance with the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 framework. The SOC 2 framework is designed to measure how well an organization safeguards user data and privacy, and consists of five trust service categories – security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The SOCII Type 2 certification process involves an independent auditor conducting an in-depth assessment of an organization’s internal controls related to these categories, and issuing a report that describes the effectiveness of the controls in place.
