SOC 2 Type 2 compliance has become a benchmark for service organizations aiming to prove their commitment to data protection and operational excellence. At Enactia, we simplify your journey to SOC 2 Type 2 readiness with a robust GRC platform that automates and streamlines your compliance processes.
What is SOC 2 Type 2?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It focuses on how organizations manage customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria (TSC):
Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
A SOC 2 Type 2 report goes a step further than Type 1 by assessing not just the design, but also the operating effectiveness of security controls over a defined period, typically between 3 to 12 months. This makes it a powerful assurance tool for organizations providing cloud-based, SaaS, or managed IT services.
Why SOC 2 Type 2 Matters
✅ Builds Customer Trust: Demonstrates your organization’s long-term commitment to protecting sensitive customer information.
✅ Supports Business Growth: SOC 2 Type 2 certification is often a prerequisite for partnerships with enterprise clients, especially in the US.
✅ Enhances Security Posture: Encourages maturity in internal processes, risk management, and control effectiveness.
