What Is a SOC 2 Audit?

SOC 2 is a third-party security audit that tells your customers their data is in good hands. The AICPA designed it for service organizations that store or process customer data, evaluating controls across up to five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.


Security is required. The rest depend on your SLAs and what your customers care about. At the end, you get a formal audit report, signed by a licensed CPA firm, that you can hand to any enterprise security team that asks.

SOC 2 Type I

Point-in-time assessment of control design; best for unblocking a deal quickly.

SOC 2 Type II

Assessment of how controls performed over 6-12 months; best for enterprise buyers who need proof of consistency.

Who Needs a SOC 2 Audit?

Your Enterprise Customers Are Already Asking

A deal stalls. A renewal comes up. A prospect sends a vendor questionnaire with “SOC 2 report” at the top. Your buyers want a report from an independent compliance firm.

  • B2B SaaS companies
  • Fintech and payments platforms
  • Healthcare-adjacent software
  • AI and data platform companies
  • Cloud infrastructure providers
