What Is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is an attestation framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how your organization safeguards customer data. It’s not a one-time checkbox—it’s an ongoing operating model. We help you align people, process, and technology so controls are effective, auditable, and sustainable.

  • Type I: Design of controls at a point in time
  • Type II: Design and operating effectiveness over a review period

Who Needs It?

If your customers entrust you with sensitive data—SaaS, healthcare-adjacent services, professional services, or any B2B vendor under enterprise security review—SOC 2 reduces sales friction and shortens procurement cycles. Many Calgary companies now require SOC 2 from vendors handling client data.
