What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an industry-recognized framework designed to assess the effectiveness of an organisation's controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It provides assurance to customers and stakeholders that their data is being handled securely and responsibly.
