What is SOC 2 compliance?

SOC 2 compliance confirms that a company follows the criteria for managing customer data. These criteria are based on five aspects of data security: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

SOC 2 is an auditing process to ensure that companies comply with these five criteria. If a company is compliant, it follows the correct guidelines. Typically, these are internal audits, and the specifics of the criteria vary from company to company depending on various factors.
