Is your client information and data safe?
How will you assure it?

Two very important questions for which you should have very clear answers if you offer IT services to your clients. If you are an IT service organization you must meet your clients’ great demands for the security of their data. The SOC 2 report provides assurance in the following areas:

  • Infrastructure – Physical and virtual resources supporting the IT environment you use to deliver your services
  • Software – application and system software you use for data processing
  • People – individuals responsible for service delivery to a client
  • Data – data and batch processing provided by an organisation’s systems and their databases
  • Procedures and processes – automated and manual processes relating to the service delivery
