  3. SOC 2 Examination
A SOC 2 examination can be performed as a Type I or Type II examination. In both instances, an opinion is provided on the controls designed in your policies, procedures, and processes governing the system used to provide products and services to your customers. Your policies, procedures, and processes must meet the requirements of one or more trust services criteria. The trust services criteria include Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy. Trust services criteria are selected by you and are based on the product or service provided and the industry which you operate.

  • Security – where the system is protected against unauthorized access, use, or modification (both physical and logical)
  • Availability – where the system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed
  • Processing integrity – where the system processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized
  • Confidentiality – where Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed
  • Privacy – where personal information (identifiable to an individual) is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of
