SOC 2

Security, Availability & Trust Assurance

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a voluntary compliance standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that specifies how organizations should manage customer data. SOC 2 reports provide detailed information about a service organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Cyber Radar Systems provides comprehensive SOC 2 readiness assessments, implementation services, and audit support to help technology and cloud service providers achieve SOC 2 compliance. Our experts guide organizations through the entire SOC 2 journey, from gap analysis to successful audit completion.

SOC 2 compliance has become the gold standard for SaaS companies, cloud service providers, and technology vendors. Achieving SOC 2 certification demonstrates your commitment to data security and builds trust with enterprise customers who require rigorous vendor security assessments.
