About SOC 2
A Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 report provides a detailed comparison of a service organization’s controls against standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The audit includes the criteria established by the now retired SAS 70 and covers additional topics such as the risks associated with cloud computing.
Our SOC 2 Audit
To obtain a SOC 2 report, an organization must undergo an in-depth audit performed by a third-party CPA. Our audit was conducted by A-LIGN, a nationwide security and compliance solutions provider. The audit included the suitability of relevant controls we have in-place and the operating effectiveness of these controls as evidenced over a 12-month period. We received an unmodified audit opinion, which means our report contained no exceptions.
