What is SOC 2 Compliance?

SOC 2 is a security framework that proves you protect customer data properly. It's the #1 compliance requirement for B2B SaaS companies selling to enterprises.

Created by the AICPA, SOC 2 evaluates your controls across five Trust Service Criteria. The Security criterion is mandatory; the others are optional depending on your business.
