SOC 2 is a cybersecurity and compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for service providers that store or process data in the cloud. It evaluates the design and effectiveness of security controls based on five Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Why SOC 2?
- Builds Trust: Demonstrates to clients and partners that your organisation takes data security, availability, and privacy seriously.
- Competitive Advantage: Distinguishes your business in a crowded market by showing verified commitment to best practices.
- Mitigates Risk: Helps identify and address vulnerabilities in your systems, reducing the likelihood of breaches and downtime.
- Supports Scalability: Provides a strong foundation of controls that can scale with your organisation as it grows.
- Streamlines Vendor Reviews: Reduces friction in security assessments and due diligence processes with prospects and partners.
- Regulatory Alignment: Supports compliance with broader data protection standards, such as GDPR and HIPAA.
The Business Value of SOC 2 Compliance
- 85% of enterprise buyers require SOC 2 reports before signing contracts

FAQ – SOC2 Compliance Services
What is SOC 2 compliance?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an internationally recognised compliance framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates how organisations manage customer data across five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Achieving SOC 2 compliance demonstrates that your organisation has implemented robust controls to safeguard data, reduce risk, and meet regulatory and customer requirements.
Why is SOC 2 important for my organisation?
SOC 2 is increasingly a prerequisite for doing business in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and SaaS. Customers, partners, and regulators expect proof that you can protect sensitive data. Beyond compliance, SOC 2 provides a competitive edge by building trust with stakeholders, streamlining vendor due diligence, and reducing the cost of repeated security assessments.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
-
SOC 2 Type I: Assesses the design of your security controls at a specific point in time.
-
SOC 2 Type II: Evaluates the operational effectiveness of those controls over a period (usually 6–12 months).
Most organisations pursue SOC 2 Type II certification, as it provides stronger assurance to clients and partners.
How long does it take to achieve SOC 2 certification?
The timeline depends on your organisation’s security maturity. Type I assessments can often be achieved in a few months, while Type II requires an audit window of several months to a year. CyberPulse accelerates the process by conducting gap assessments, remediation planning, and ongoing compliance management, ensuring you are audit-ready faster.

How does SOC 2 align with other frameworks like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA?
SOC 2 overlaps with many other standards. Controls implemented for SOC 2 can often be mapped to ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CPS234, and NIST CSF. CyberPulse streamlines compliance by harmonising requirements across multiple frameworks, reducing duplication and audit fatigue.
