Security News > 2020 > April > Five best practices for achieving and maintaining SOC 2 compliance

SOC 2 compliance is evaluated by independent third-party auditors who assess a company's ability to comply with these core principles.

SOC 2 was developed by the American Institute of CPAs and designed specifically for service providers that store customer data in the cloud, meaning virtually every SaaS company operating today should consider achieving SOC 2 compliance.

These security best practices can help organizations achieve SOC 2 compliance, stay out of trouble with auditors, and compete in a crowded SaaS market.

It's therefore imperative that organizations continuously learn and improve their SOC 2 examination processes and remain flexible so they can positively adapt to changes in the nature and scope of SOC 2 operations.

When security postures and operating procedures are perpetually reinforced and optimized, organizations can evolve to view SOC 2 compliance as a net business enhancer, both internally and also externally as a result of proactively sharing security learnings with customers.
