SOC 2 is a globally recognized cybersecurity compliance standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It’s designed specifically for technology and cloud-based service providers that store, process, or transmit customer data.
SOC 2 evaluates how well an organization manages data privacy, security, availability, processing integrity, and confidentiality — collectively known as the Trust Services Criteria (TSC).
HIPAA compliance customer journey includes:
We begin with a detailed gap analysis to understand your current controls and SOC 2 goals. Based on the findings, we create a custom roadmap for compliance. This helps you align with the right Trust Services Criteria.
We help implement all required security, availability, and privacy controls. This includes policies, access rules, encryption, and logging systems. Everything is tailored to your business and SOC 2 needs.
Before the audit, we run mock checks and collect evidence. We ensure every control works and is documented properly. This step reduces audit risks and ensures full preparedness.
We coordinate directly with the SOC 2 auditor. Our team handles documentation, evidence sharing, and clarifications. Whether it’s Type I or II, we stay involved end-to-end.
After audit success, we help you maintain and monitor controls. We support future audits and continuous improvements. Staying secure and compliant becomes a smooth process.
The HIPAA process includes the following steps:
Identify the systems, services, and data to be covered. Select relevant Trust Services Criteria like Security or Privacy. Clear scoping ensures an efficient and focused audit process.
Evaluate your current controls against SOC 2 requirements. Find weaknesses in policies, processes, or technical setups. This helps prioritize what needs to be fixed before the audit.
Apply required security and compliance controls. Includes access control, encryption, monitoring, and more. Document everything to align with auditor expectations.
Gather logs, policies, screenshots, and proof of control activity. Evidence must support both design and effectiveness. Proper documentation is key for a smooth audit process.
A certified CPA firm conducts the official SOC 2 audit. Type I reviews design; Type II reviews effectiveness over time. We assist in coordination, submissions, and responses.
You receive your SOC 2 report with findings and results. This becomes a powerful trust asset for your clients. We help review and act on any recommendations if needed.
The SOC 2 use case generally includes:
SOC 2 compliance enhances security by identifying:
Demonstrates your commitment to protecting client data and privacy. Enhances credibility with prospects and partners.
Sets you apart in security-conscious industries. Often required to close deals with enterprise clients.
Improves internal controls, monitoring, and risk management. Reduces chances of breaches and data loss.
Helps meet global compliance expectations like GDPR or HIPAA. Simplifies future audits and legal assessments.
During an SOC 2 compliance journey, especially if supported by consultants, several key deliverables are generated:
