Security News > 2022 > September > Why Vulnerability Scanning is Critical for SOC 2

How secure are the third parties you've entrusted with your data? SOC 2 is a framework that ensures these service providers securely manage data to protect their customers and clients.
For security-conscious businesses - and security should be a priority for every business today - SOC 2 is now a minimal requirement when considering a SaaS provider.
What SOC 2 means for SaaS. SaaS providers understand the benefits of a SOC 2 report for their business, and their customers.
That's why healthcare providers like hospitals or insurance companies may require a SOC 2 audit to ensure an additional level of scrutiny on their security systems.
One control you must pass for your SOC 2 report is vulnerability management.
You can tick the SOC 2 vulnerability management box in under 10 minutes.
