+SOC 2 Certification is a third-party attestation report that evaluates how your company manages customer data based on five Trust Service Criteria—Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
SOC 2 assesses internal controls for secure data handling and reliable service. It is relevant to both cloud and on-site service providers handling customer data. Common in SaaS, FinTech, and IT, it builds trust and shows operational strength. This framework also supports alignment with industry regulations and client expectations.

A SOC 2 report validates that your company has effective controls to protect customer data. It’s essential for SaaS, FinTech, and cloud service providers to build trust and win clients.
Type 1 evaluates control design at a point in time, while Type 2 assesses control effectiveness over a period (typically 3–12 months). Type 2 holds more credibility with enterprise clients.
SOC 2 certification cost varies depending on scope, team size, and current control maturity. It includes consultant fees, tools, internal resources, and third-party audit costs.
It typically takes 3 to 6 months depending on readiness and whether you’re pursuing Type 1 or Type 2 certification.
