In collaboration with Vanta & Advantage Partners, our successful journey through the compliance process underscores our unwavering dedication to providing a secure data environment.
What is SOC 2 Type II and why is it important?
Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) is a framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to ensure that organizations securely manage and protect customer data. This framework focuses on five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. With increasing cybersecurity threats and data breaches, it is paramount that organizations prioritize information security and the protection of their systems and data.
By achieving SOC 2 compliance, Touchwork demonstrates its adherence to rigorous standards for data security and privacy. Going beyond SOC 2, the Type II designation adds a time element, assessing the effectiveness of these controls over an extended period.
