SOC 2 for start ups as well as scale ups

Prove it with SOC 2

With a SOC 2 Type 2 report, based on guideline ISAE 3000, you can demonstrate that you have established adequate internal controls, meet internationally accepted standards for service organizations and that your systems are properly secured. You can also demonstrate with a SOC 2 report that the availability of your system meets requirements, that information is kept confidential and even that the privacy of natural persons in the systems is safeguarded. A SOC 2 is thus an accepted standard report, but can also be customized to your needs (and those of your customer)!

SOC 2 compliance for start-ups

We recently had the opportunity to help a fast-growing start-up. The growth of this company proceeded at such a rapid pace that the organization attracted a large American prospect. A good sign, but a SOC 2 assurance report became indispensable as a result. The potential customer wants assurance in the form of a (SOC 2) statement. Without a statement, business simply will not be done.

Demonstrate with a statement that your services are reliable and win the trust of potential customers.

SOC 2 compliance for scale-ups

Even for scale-ups, an assurance statement such as SOC 2 or ISAE 3402 is important.

One of our clients has been providing IT services for a long time and has built up a nice customer base. Of course, information security has always played a major role here, but in a rapidly changing IT landscape and tightening laws and regulations, they themselves came to us asking for a SOC 2 compliance statement. They know that with their (potential) customers the desire for assurance in the field of information security and control of systems and procedures is growing.

The way to give your customers this assurance is through an assurance report such as SOC 2.
