What is SOC-2?  

It is an auditing procedure developed by AICPA that ensures service providers securely manage clients’ data against attacks. 

It follows five principles to manage the privacy of client’s data: 

  1. Security: Prevent unauthorized access; this can be achieved by enabling multi-factor authentication, network/application firewall, and intrusion detection. 
  1. Availability: Accessibility to services following agreed terms of use. 
  1. Integrity: To check if the software would achieve its purpose at the right time. 
  1. Confidentiality: Many organizations would use the same security service provider, ensuring that access and disclosure of information are restricted to their own organization and persons. 
  1. Privacy: Disclosure of personal information in correspondence with the organization’s privacy policy. 

What did we require for getting SOC-2 Type I Certified? 

To meet SOC-2 requirements, SecPod had to prove that we followed strict security architecture and policies encompassing the above five principles. If we support external pen-testing apart from internal pen-test. 

How do we identify customers’ verified information, and what procedure is followed when any client leaves the organization?
