This sharp focus allows us to help you strengthen your cybersecurity posture effectively and strategically. From checkbox to true value.
Organizations are increasingly relying on IT service providers to support their operations. While outsourcing offers clear advantages, it also introduces greater dependency across the supply chain. Disruptions or incidents at an IT service provider can have significant consequences for the business processes of their clients.
Driven in part by regulations such as NIS2 and DORA, organizations are required to actively manage their third-party dependencies. In practice, this often means requesting an assurance report, such as a SOC 2, from their IT service providers.
A SOC 2 (Service Organization Controls) report provides assurance to clients about the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of a service provider’s internal controls. SOC 2 is particularly valuable because the security criteria are mandatory, offering customers clear insight into how key risks are managed.
SOC 2 is based on the following Trust Services Criteria (TSC):
Security (mandatory)
Availability
Confidentiality
Processing Integrity
Privacy
Other types of assurance reports—such as ISAE 3000 or ISAE 3402—offer more flexibility in terms of scope and can also be appropriate depending on the context
A SOC 2 audit doesn’t have to be complicated. Our pragmatic approach is designed to simplify the audit process—so we can focus on what truly matters: digital security.
