SOC 2 (ISAE 3000) — The Global Trust Standard
Expand your reach and win enterprise contracts worldwide by complying with the international ISAE 3000 standard.
What Is a SOC 2 Examination?
A System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 examination evaluates how well your organization’s controls align with the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, which focus on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
These examinations are designed for service organizations that store or process customer data — particularly in SaaS, IT, cloud, or managed service environments. There are two types of SOC 2 reports:
- Type I: evaluates whether controls are suitably designed at a specific point in time.
- Type II: assesses the design and operating effectiveness of those controls over a defined period.
Why SOC 2 Matters
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) developed SOC 2 to help U.S. service organizations demonstrate sound data-protection practices. However, international stakeholders often require evidence aligned with the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board’s ISAE 3000. By weaving the AICPA Trust Services Criteria into an ISAE 3000 assurance report, Insight Assurance enables you to satisfy both domestic and global due-diligence demands with a single engagement. In other words: one audit, global acceptance.
For startups and growing enterprises, this dual-purpose approach removes the friction that can stall cross-border deals, accelerates vendor onboarding, and proves your commitment to safeguarding customer information — no matter where your prospects are located.
