Context & Why It Matters
SOC 2 is the audit of choice for SaaS, fintech, healthtech and B2B technology vendors selling into North America, Europe and increasingly the GCC.
- Enterprise buyers — banks, insurers, healthcare networks and Fortune 1000 procurement — routinely require a current SOC 2 Type II report before signing a master services agreement.
- The 2017 Trust Services Criteria (revised 2022) plus the 2022 points of focus form the audit baseline; AICPA-registered CPA firms perform the examination.
