We at 360 Degree Cloud make a big deal about maintaining our customer’s trust, and that’s why we keep data security as one of our prime concerns.
It gives us immense pleasure to announce that our organization is now SOC 2 Type 2 certified, an incredible achievement that shows we take our customer’s data very seriously and handle it responsibly and securely.
SOC 2, or System and Organization Controls, is the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) brainchild. It is an auditing standard that helps to access data security related to the cloud-based storage of customer data. So, it will be applied mostly to SaaS companies and cloud vendors.
In addition, SOC 2 compliance means following efficient security practices for intrusion detection, data loss prevention, unauthorized access, intrusion detection, and other incidents.
There are two types of SOC 2 compliant reports:
Type 1: The SOC 2 Type 1 report affirms that the organization uses compliant processes and systems at a specific time.
Type 2: The SOC 2 Type 2 report affirms that the organization uses compliant processes and systems over a period of time.
The SOC 2 Type 2 report is an audit of how we handle customer information within our organization. It covers the efficiency of our controls and process and our operating effectiveness.
