Frequently Asked Questions About SOC 2® Compliance

SOC 2®, or System and Organization Control 2, is a voluntary compliance framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that ensures your organization or application is handling customer data securely and in a manner that protects your organization and the privacy of your customers. In practice, SOC 2® certification demonstrates to customers, prospects, and partners that an organization processes and manages data in a secure, reliable, and well-controlled way.

You can learn more in our Ultimate Guide to SOC 2®.

SOC 2® compliance isn’t legally required, though it is widely adopted and acknowledged, particularly for B2B and SaaS businesses. SOC 2® certification is often a requirement in vendor contracts, and many procurement and security departments will request a SOC 2® report before they purchase software.

In particular, organizations in the healthcare, financial services, or technology industries typically require SOC 2® attestation. The types of businesses that need SOC 2® are often SaaS companies, cloud service providers, or data storage companies.

SOC 2® compliance requires a comprehensive attestation report that an external CPA uses to validate security controls and any optional Trust Service Criteria the organization chooses to include, such as availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls that protect information and systems throughout their lifecycle that your organization has established.

SOC 2 compliance is evaluated based on five Trust Services Criteria (TSC) defined by the AICPA: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Each criterion outlines specific data security requirements, controls, and processes that an organization must implement and maintain to safeguard customer data.

SOC 2® certification is a must-have for organizations that manage customer data or integrate with business partners. If you’re selling software or services, SOC 2® reports demonstrate to external stakeholders that their data will be protected and that you won’t introduce vulnerabilities into their systems. For customers or business partners are in highly regulated fields or are publicly traded companies, a SOC 2® report is often a requirement for procurement or security teams.

SOC 2® reports also help reduce audit fatigue by reducing the need for individual audits from customers and business partners. As part of their risk management practices, many companies annually audit their customers and business partners. This can result in a high volume of redundant, time-consuming audits coming from multiple sources. An up-to-date SOC 2® report is a great solution for this, as companies will often accept a SOC 2® report in place of conducting a separate audit.

Relatively speaking, SOC 2® compliance requirements are easier and faster to achieve than most security frameworks, making SOC 2® one of the earliest compliance initiatives for many SaaS or technology companies. SOC 2® reports often have some overlap and can support broader privacy compliance efforts, like ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST CSF, or CCPA.

Unlike many more rigorous frameworks, SOC 2 certification requires an attestation examination/report from a licensed certified public accountant (CPA) rather than an audit processes conducted by an accredited national or regional body.

Hyperproof’s SOC 2® compliance software helps organizations implement, monitor, and maintain SOC 2® controls and evidence collection in the most effective way possible. Hyperproof offers a comprehensive, integrated GRC platform that reduces manual effort and combines real-time risk monitoring, automated evidence collection, incident response tracking, and automated workflows across multiple frameworks.

While some SOC 2® compliance software is solely focused on SOC 2® requirements, Hyperproof’s multi-framework mapping helps teams apply existing ISO SOC 2® controls across multiple frameworks like ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST CSF, CCPA,PCI DSS, and more. This ultimately helps teams avoid duplicative work and utilize a common control framework that meets the compliance requirements of SOC 2® along with other frameworks.

Hyperproof comes with an out-of-the-box SOC 2®program template that can easily be tailored to your organization. For organizations with existing controls, it’s simple to edit the provided controls, add new controls, and remove superfluous ones. Within Hyperproof, all evidence of the SOC 2® audit process and the results can be maintained.
