# How SOC 2 Can Be Your Business Enabler

###### Ebook

#### What is SOC 2 Compliance?

Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 defines criteria for managing customer data based on five “trust service principles”—security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

There are two types of SOC reports:

- Type I describes a vendor’s systems and whether their design is suitable to meet relevant trust principles.  
- Type II details the operational effectiveness of those systems.

### Why is SOC 2 compliance important to your business?

Achieving SOC 2 certification is beneficial to both your business and your clients in the long run. You could take advantage of the certification as a driver to grow your business and ensure security.
