<h2>Why is SOC 2 Type II important?</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>SOC 2 Type II refers to a specific type and degree of SOC (Service Organization Control) report. SOC is a system of standards from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) used to assess a company’s data security policies and their effectiveness.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Under the SOC umbrella, SOC 2 Type II represents the most thorough and difficult-to-achieve compliance. It’s one of the most trusted and sought-after third-party security verifications.</p>

<h2>What does the SOC 2 Type II examination take into account?</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>SOC 2 Type II examine the security, confidentiality, and availability in an organization using five key principles of trust established by the AICPA:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>Protections against unauthorized access that defines the security of a vendor's system.</li><li>The completeness, validity, timeliness, accuracy, and authorization of a vendor's system's processing.</li><li>The availability of a vendor's system for operation and usage as specified in the customer agreement.</li><li>The confidentiality of the information the vendor processes and keeps, and how that confidentiality is safeguarded.</li><li>The privacy of the personal information the vendor collects, holds, uses, discloses, and disposes of.</li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To qualify for the SOC 2 Type II report, we developed strict security procedures following these principles. We then engaged an accredited independent auditor to assess their quality and monitor our adherence to these procedures over the period of 4 four months (June-October 2021).&nbsp;</p>
