The security of sensitive data is more important than ever for companies today. Customers expect their information to be protected and processed to the highest standards. This is where SOC 2 certification comes into play. But what exactly does SOC 2 mean and why is it essential for modern companies? And how does it differ from SOC 3?
SOC 2 (Service Organisation Control 2) is a certification developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It ensures that organisations adhere to strict security, availability, integrity, confidentiality and data protection guidelines. While SOC 1 focusses on financial reporting, SOC 2 focuses on the security and protection of data.
A company must fulfil five central criteria for SOC 2 certification:
Similar to SOC 1, there are also two variants here:
SOC 3 is a certification that, like SOC 2, is based on an organisation’s security and privacy policies, but in a simplified and publicly accessible form. While SOC 2 provides detailed information about the security controls and practices implemented, SOC 3 provides a summarised version of the SOC 2 report that is accessible to the general public. The main difference between the two is that SOC 2 is specifically intended for internal and selected customer reports, while SOC 3 is ideal for organisations that want to present their security standards transparently and without publishing confidential details.
