    Don’t let SOC 2 compliance slow your momentum.

    Cybersecurity requirements, like SOC 2 compliance, often catch companies off guard just as they’re reaching a critical stage of expansion.

    solution-x

    Traditional compliance

    Traditional approaches require hundreds of hours of work and don’t support cross-certification, leaving you back at square one when you’re ready to level up again.

    Strike Graph’s platform makes SOC 2 compliance simple and fast.

    Everything you need — nothing you don’t

    Forget one-size-fits-all compliance checklists. Strike Graph tailors the compliance process so you’re only investing time and energy into SOC 2 controls that are necessary for your business. The result? Faster, easier SOC 2 compliance.


    Risk Management

    Automation to lessen the load

    Evidence Repository

    A strong foundation to build on

    Traditional approaches to SOC 2 compliance are a 1:1 effort. You spend a lot of time and energy fulfilling requirements, you reach compliance, and that’s it. With Strike Graph, the controls and evidence you produce as part of the SOC 2 process allow you to maintain compliance easily, and they can be cross-applied to future cybersecurity certifications. One investment produces ongoing returns.

    Thank you Strike Graph for my organization passing SOC 2!

    I couldn't have pulled together everything needed for our SOC 2 audit in a short period of time without Strikegraph. I was able within a few weeks to complete a Risk Assessment using the tool, select the associated controls to mitigate the risks, and assign the controls to team members. I can't say enough about the ease of the interface …

    Dig into the details.

    Learn the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2, how to build a SOC 2 controls list, which Trust Services Criteria are required, and more.

    What is the SOC framework?

    SOC stands for System and Organization Controls. In common usage, the term SOC 2 refers to a report issued by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) stating that an organization's data management practices are meeting a set of criteria issued by the AICPA. A SOC 2 is one of the most common attestations that service organizations can obtain, and it is becoming a requirement for security-conscious enterprises that rely on cloud service providers.

    What are Trust Services Criteria (TSC)?

    The SOC framework is based on five main Trust Services Criteria (TSC): 

    • Security — Also known as common criteria, a collection of both operational and security criteria
    • Availability — How the system stays up and running
    • Processing Integrity — How data is manipulated to produce the correct or expected result
    • Confidentiality — How data is kept secret
    • Privacy — How personal data is kept secret and protected

    Unlike more prescriptive frameworks, such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, SOC 2 allows organizations to identify relevant controls and show how they are meeting each criterion. 

    That said, nearly every SOC 2 must include the Security, or Common, TSC: control environment, communication and information, risk assessment, monitoring activities, control activities, logical and physical access controls, system operations, change management, and risk mitigation.

    Strike Graph’s platform covers 100 percent of the TSC to ensure you can achieve the scope of SOC 2 that your buyers require.

    Does my company need a SOC 2?

    Any technology service provider or organization that stores, processes, or transmits customer data can benefit from a SOC 2 attestation. This includes managed service providers, banking and financial services, software as a service (SaaS) providers, data centers, cloud storage providers, and any other company that stores or collects data.

    Being SOC 2 compliant demonstrates to customers that your organization has adopted a robust security program to protect their customer data in the cloud. The SOC 2 report gives your company a competitive advantage, helping you win and close deals faster.

    What’s the difference between SOC 1, SOC 2 (Type 1 and Type 2), and SOC 3?

    SOC 1

    Addresses outsourced financial controls

    SOC 2

    One of the most common attestations that service organizations can obtain. It is becoming a requirement for security-conscious enterprises that rely on cloud service providers

    Type 1

    Requires an audit evaluating a particular point in time. The auditor will assess the design of your company’s controls and decide whether they adequately cover the appropriate criteria

    Type 2

    Adds an additional audit to assess whether controls have been operating over a period of time

    SOC 3
