What is SOC 2 compliance?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an auditing standard developed by the AICPA that evaluates a service organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time assessment that verifies controls are designed appropriately. SOC 2 Type II covers a period of time (typically 6–12 months) and verifies that controls are operating effectively over time.

How long does it take to get SOC 2 certified?

With Secov's automation platform, companies can become audit-ready in as little as 21 days. The full SOC 2 Type II process typically takes 6–12 months depending on your organization's readiness.

How much does SOC 2 compliance cost?

SOC 2 compliance costs vary based on organization size and scope. With Secov, automation significantly reduces the cost by eliminating manual evidence collection and reducing audit preparation time. Book a demo to get a tailored quote.
