What is SOC 2 Type II?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a rigorous auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates an organization’s ability to handle data securely, ensuring the protection of customer data. The SOC 2 Type II report assesses the design and implementation of controls and examines their operational effectiveness over a defined period.
