Security
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that focuses on how an organization's services remain secure and protect customer data. The framework contains 5 Trust Services Categories (TSCs), which contain criteria to evaluate the controls and service commitments of an organization.
The timeline for achieving SOC 2 compliance varies depending on your organization’s size, complexity, and current security posture. Typically, the process takes 3-12 months from initial assessment to receiving your SOC 2 report. Our readiness assessment can provide a more accurate timeline for your specific situation.
SOC 2 compliance ensures that your business follows strict security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy standards. This helps build trust with customers, protects sensitive data, and demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding their information.

SOC 2 focuses specifically on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. Unlike prescriptive frameworks like HIPAA or PCI DSS that have specific requirements, SOC 2 is principles-based, allowing organizations to implement controls that make sense for their unique environment.
The cost of SOC 2 compliance includes consulting fees, potential technology investments, and audit costs. The total investment varies based on your organization’s size, complexity, and current security posture. Our readiness assessment can help you understand the specific costs for your organization.
While it’s possible to prepare internally, most organizations benefit from expert guidance. SOC 2 compliance involves complex requirements and specialized knowledge. Our consultants can help you navigate the process more efficiently, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure you’re fully prepared for your audit.
