SOC 2
A Service Organization Control (SOC 2) audit provides an independent assessment of your organization's internal controls using up to five trust principles: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Privacy, and Processing Integrity. The SOC 2 report will serve to demonstrate your dedication to maintaining a highly effective cybersecurity program. The SOC 2 audit isn’t just a compliance checkpoint; it’s a proactive step toward building stakeholder trust and confidence in your operational and security practices.
SOC 2 Compliance
SOC 2 compliance stands as a widely embraced cybersecurity audit, favored by organizations seeking to
showcase their strong commitment to cybersecurity and privacy.
During a SOC 2 audit, AAG examines your policies, procedures, and system configurations across your selected Trust Services Criteria. You can select up to five criteria: Security (required), Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. As your trusted independent SOC 2 auditor, AAG assesses the controls within each category, culminating in the creation of a comprehensive SOC 2 report.
