The 2013 AICPA SOC 2 Type 2 report provides a comprehensive audit of a service organization’s controls around the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) along with privacy. This independent verification strengthens our assurance that a vendor can be trusted to safeguard customer data according to these core security principles
SOC 2 serves as a framework to ensure that all cloud-based technology and SaaS firms establish controls and policies to safeguard client data privacy and security.
External auditors provide SOC 2 attestation. Implementation helps identify any underlying irregularities in terms of the procedures and security controls necessary for consumers to trust these firms.
Obtaining a SOC 2 attestation requires an independent audit conducted by a
qualified Security and Assurance Services Provider (ASSP). There are two primary report types
A SOC 2 Type 1 report provides a snapshot assessment of a Cloud Service
Provider’s (CSP’s) control design against the SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria (TSC) at a specific point in time. This report verifies the existence of documented policies and procedures aligned with the TSC but doesn’t assess the operational effectiveness of those controls.
A SOC 2 Type 2 report provides a more in-depth assessment compared to a Type 1
report. It goes beyond control design by evaluating the operational effectiveness of a Cloud Service Provider’s (CSP’s) implemented controls over a defined period. This ensures the controls are functioning as intended and effectively safeguarding customer data across the core principles of Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Integrity, and Privacy (SAPCIA).

A SOC 2 audit is a proactive measure that helps identify and address security
control gaps, ultimately reducing the risk of costly data breaches
A successful SOC 2 attestation serves as independent verification of an
organization’s security posture, specifically its controls for safeguarding
customer data across the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) and Privacy (often referred to as SAPCIA)
The SOC 2 report offers a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s
security controls, internal control environment, and overall risk posture. This
valuable insight can be used to identify areas for improvement and make
data-driven security decisions.
SOC 2 outlines a control framework for protecting customer data based on five Trust Service Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity (mentioned twice in error, likely meant confidentiality), and privacy. To achieve SOC 2 attestation, organizations must implement and document information security practices, access controls, risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and relevant policies (incident response, etc.)
A SOC 2 Gap Assessment is crucial for SOC 2 compliance readiness. It compares existing security controls with SOC 2 criteria, identifying gaps and improvement areas. This provides actionable insights and a roadmap for control remediation before a formal audit.
These assessments confirm the implementation and efficacy of documented security controls. Identified gaps are categorized by risk, enabling prioritized remediation. This cultivates a security-focused culture, leading to SOC 2 attestation and demonstrating robust data protection commitment
After implementation and documentation, a SOC 2 audit assesses control design and operational effectiveness. Type 2 audits, preferred for robust evaluation, span a period (typically a year) to demonstrate ongoing adherence. This thorough assessment identifies improvement areas, culminating in SOC 2 attestation.
The final stage is completing the SOC 2 attestation, which involves thorough documentation review for completeness and alignment with control requirements. A qualified CPA conducts an independent audit, verifying control implementation and effectiveness, culminating in your company’s successful attestation being recognized as SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2 compliant.
