# SOC 2 Audit Prep

Streamlined SOC 2 Type I and Type II certification preparation to build customer trust.

## Understanding SOC 2 Audit

SOC 2 is an auditing standard that evaluates an organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. A SOC 2 report provides independent verification that your organization has appropriate controls in place—increasingly required by enterprise customers before they'll do business with you.

The SOC 2 process involves implementing controls, documenting policies and procedures, operating those controls over a review period (for Type II), and undergoing an audit by a licensed CPA firm. Proper preparation is essential—an unsuccessful audit wastes time and money and can delay your ability to close deals.
