Enterprise buyers ask for a SOC 2 report before they sign. We build the controls, run them every day and collect the evidence automatically, so your Type II window is a formality instead of a fire drill.
Illustrative target for a SOC 2 program run by Digital Edge
SOC 2 is an attestation report issued by a licensed CPA firm under the AICPA’s SSAE 18 standard. It reports on your controls against the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.
A Type I report looks at control design on a single date; a Type II report tests that controls operated effectively over a period, usually 3–12 months. Most enterprise customers expect Type II.
