What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a security framework developed by the AICPA that ensures service providers securely manage data to protect the interests of their customers. It's essential for SaaS companies selling to enterprises.
SOC 2 Type I
Evaluates the design of security controls at a specific point in time. Faster to achieve (2-4 weeks with automation).
SOC 2 Type II
Evaluates how effective those controls are over time (typically 3-12 months). Required by most enterprise customers.
