Secure Your Cloud Communications: Look for the SOC2 Type 2 Attestation
Security controls such as the Service Organization Control (SOC 2) Type 2 report serve as an important mark of quality.
As organizations increasingly move their business communications from on-premises environments to the cloud, they are realizing a host of benefits, including unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. However, this transition also brings new challenges, especially when it comes to security. To ensure that data is effectively protected in the cloud, security controls such as the Service Organization Control (SOC 2) Type 2 report serve as an important mark of quality.
Close the Skills Gap With a Certified Provider
While most on-premises security efforts focus on protecting servers from physical harm, in the cloud, proper configuration is critical to protecting an organization. As Gartner's Cloud Security Posture Management report states, "nearly all successful attacks on cloud services are the result of customer misconfiguration, mismanagement, and errors." However, 43% of organizations struggle with a cybersecurity talent gap and don't have the internal resources to adequately manage their systems themselves. Software as a Service providers offer to fill this gap by providing robust and managed IT systems. But with so many vendors on the market, it is important to carefully evaluate software vendors to make sure that they are keeping your business data safe and secure. To ease the evaluation process, third-party audits are a quick way to ensure that secure and effective security protocols are in place. The gold standard to look for is a SOC2 Type II attestation, which demonstrates an organization's commitment to the highest security standards.What Is a SOC2 Attestation?
SOC2 is an assurance report by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It is a structured audit of an organizations internal controls relating to operations and compliance. Controls are tested against one or more of these main categories: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. To achieve a SOC2 attestation, an organization must be audited by a third-party certified public auditor. There are two types of SOC 2 reports: Type 1 and Type 2.- SOC 2 Type 1 is the simple version of the report and evaluates how well an organization has designed and implemented controls at a specific point in time.
- SOC 2 Type 2 is a more complex and time-intensive report but also proves greater assurance into the control’s effectiveness, evaluating the operation of the controls over a period of time.
