SOC 2

SOC 2 Certification Overview


Origin


SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in 2011 as part of their Service Organization Control reporting framework. It was created to address the growing need for standardized security evaluations as businesses increasingly moved to cloud-based services and outsourced IT operations. The AICPA developed SOC 2 to provide a framework that service providers could use to demonstrate their commitment to protecting customer data across five "Trust Service Criteria": security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.


Industry Value


SOC 2 certification has become a critical trust signal in the technology and service provider industry, particularly for SaaS companies, cloud hosting providers, and data centers. Organizations value SOC 2 compliance because it provides third-party validation that a vendor has implemented appropriate controls to protect sensitive data, reducing the risk and liability associated with outsourcing. For service providers, achieving SOC 2 compliance is often a competitive necessity, as many enterprise customers and partners require it before entering into business relationships. The certification helps streamline vendor security assessments, as clients can rely on the audited report rather than conducting their own lengthy security reviews.
SOC 3

SOC 3 Certification


SOC 3 (System and Organization Controls 3) was created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) as part of their Service Organization Control reporting framework. Developed alongside SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports, SOC 3 emerged as the public-facing version of the SOC 2 report, designed to provide a general-use report on controls at service organizations. The AICPA introduced these frameworks to establish standardized criteria for evaluating and reporting on the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of systems that service organizations use to process user data.


For penetration testing and cybersecurity companies, SOC 3 certification is highly valued because it demonstrates to potential clients that the firm has undergone independent third-party assessment of its security controls and business practices. Unlike the detailed SOC 2 report which is restricted and shared only under NDA, SOC 3 reports can be freely distributed and displayed publicly, making them excellent marketing tools for cybersecurity firms to showcase their commitment to security. When a penetration testing company holds SOC 3 certification, it signals to clients that the firm protecting their most sensitive data and conducting security assessments has itself been validated to maintain rigorous internal controls—essentially proving they practice what they preach and can be trusted with access to critical systems and confidential information.
