SOC 2
sock-two
A framework for auditing and reporting on how service organizations manage customer data, focusing on five “Trust Services Criteria”: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
The software vendor provided a SOC 2 Type II report to assure its law firm clients that their sensitive client information was being properly safeguarded.
Although SOC 2 compliance is not mandated by law, it is often required in contracts and vendor due diligence. Law firms and legal technology providers increasingly rely on SOC 2 reports to demonstrate strong data security practices and to build trust with clients handling confidential or regulated information.
