SOC 2 Statement

Easily demonstrate that customer data is secure with us. With a SOC 2 report, you provide customers and auditors with direct assurance about your information security.

SOC 2 in a nutshell

A SOC 2 report is an assurance report that independently determines how your organization protects your customers' data. The report assesses you on five key points: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

There are two types of SOC 2 reports:

  • Type IThis report shows how well your security is set up at a specific point in time.

  • Type IIThis report assesses how effective your security is over a longer period (often 6 to 12 months).

You often choose a Type II report when clients want a strong assurance that their data is continuously well-protected. The report is prepared by an independent IT auditor.

Who is SOC 2 relevant for?

SOC 2 is especially important for companies that manage and process customer data. This includes:

  • Cloud Providers

  • SaaS companies

  • IT outsourcers

  • Fintech companies

Organizations are increasingly requesting a SOC 2 report before choosing a new vendor. Internal stakeholders such as management and compliance managers also want to see a SOC 2 report for assurance regarding security.

Why do organizations choose a SOC 2 report?

Trust from customers and partners
With a SOC 2 attestation, you objectively demonstrate that customer data is well-protected with you. This immediately eliminates lengthy questionnaires and accelerates trust from new customers.
Risk control
You gain clear insight into which security measures are working and what can be improved. This allows you to proactively prevent security incidents.
Simpler compliance
You are faster compliant with other regulations, such as GDPR. SOC 2 acts as a foundation upon which other compliance paths smoothly connect. Additionally, the effort through the 'test once, comply many' principle is more efficient than you are accustomed to.

What's involved in a SOC 2 report?

Obtaining a SOC 2 certificate doesn't have to be complicated. With a clear approach, you'll have your certificate in hand quickly. The process looks like this: 

1

Preparation and gap analysis

First, we will examine what measures your organization has already taken. This will give you a quick insight into the extent to which improvements are needed.

2

Define the audit scope

Together, we will determine which systems and processes are part of the SOC 2 audit. This will keep the audit manageable and practically feasible.

3

Implementation of improvements

Based on the gap analysis, you will implement improvements. We will support you until the gaps are resolved. 

4

Independent audit

One of our RE auditors will review your security measures, conduct interviews, observe configurations, and inspect procedures and policies. Good preparation will ensure this goes smoothly.

5

SOC 2 reporting and follow-up

You will receive the SOC 2 report. This directly demonstrates to customers and partners that their data is secure. Afterward, we will ensure ongoing compliance together without unnecessary burden.

SOC 2 vs. ISO 27001: What's the difference?

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 sometimes seem very similar. However, there are clear differences. Which explanation best suits you depends on your customers and your goals.

  • SOC 2 is an assurance report that you can use as proof towards clients. The report provides clear insight into specific security measures and how effective they are, in many cases throughout the entire year.

  • ISO 27001 Do you provide a certificate that is internationally recognized? This certificate demonstrates that you have established a complete information security system.

Organizations often start with ISO 27001 to properly manage their internal security. After that, they move to SOC 2 to provide assurance to customers. With Risguard, you can smoothly combine both processes without duplicate work.
