What does SOC 2 compliance mean?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a rigorous auditing framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It sets strict standards for how organizations manage customer data, focusing on five “trust service principles”: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Put simply, SOC 2 compliance means Applauz has been independently audited and verified to have the right systems, controls, and practices in place to keep your information safe and secure.
