DocuShare has further enhanced its security capabilities by completing its SOC 2 examination.
What is the SOC 2 Examination?
SOC, which stands for System and Organizational Controls, is a framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The framework aims to provide regular, independent attestation of a company's controls to mitigate information-related risk. A SOC 2 report is designed to address risks associated with data handling and access. Organizations of any size, including SaaS, colocation, data hosting, and others can utilize it. Unlike a cybersecurity assessment that evaluates specific technical configurations, a SOC 2 report focuses more on how an organization implements and manages controls to mitigate the identified risks to the different parts of an organization.
The SOC 2 audit testing framework is based on the Trust Services Criteria (TSC). These criteria identify various risks (points of focus) that an organization should consider addressing. Based on the TSCs selected by the organization to be in scope, the third-party compliance and audit firm evaluates whether the organization has the appropriate policies, procedures, and controls to manage the identified risks effectively.
DocuShare Customer Benefits
To pass a SOC 2 examination and receive a letter of attestation successfully, an organization must address controls in areas such as information security, access control, vendor management, system backup, business continuity and disaster relief, and more. The scope of a SOC 2 examination extends beyond the systems with a financial impact, reaching all systems and tools used to support the organization’s system or services. For DocuShare customers, this means enhancing security confidence via certified independent verification.
