SOC 2 Type II
SOC 2 Type II
Nsecure has held the SOC 2 Type II Assurance Declaration since February 2022, a rarity within the access & security industry. This ensures that the personal data processed by Nsecure as an IT security service provider is safer than ever.
What is SOC 2 Type II?
SOC 2 was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and defines criteria for managing customer data based on five “trust service principles”:
- Security
- Availability
- Processing Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
SOC 2 focuses on ensuring that information security and privacy are appropriately managed concerning the data processed or hosted by Nsecure. The key difference between SOC 2 Type II and ISO certifications is that ISO certification provides a snapshot assessment at a specific moment, while SOC 2 Type II evaluates the operation of security controls over a longer period, with periodic assessments conducted by independent, specially trained accountants.
