What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an auditing framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how service organizations handle customer data. SaaS companies, cloud providers, and data processors use SOC 2 reports to prove they meet security standards.

73% of enterprise buyers require SOC 2 Type II reports before signing contracts over $100,000. Without SOC 2, you're locked out of enterprise deals. With it, sales cycles shorten by an average of 3-6 weeks.
