What is SOC 2 compliance?

Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the SOC 2 framework is an internationally recognized security compliance standard for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies. Acquiring this credential demonstrates a company’s commitment to implementing and maintaining effective information security controls.

To ensure compliance, the organization had to undergo a technical audit. The audit entailed an unbiased confirmation that Prevu3D has not only created but also adheres to rigorous information security policies and procedures that encompass the 5 Trust Services Principles (TSP) defined by the Assurance Services Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The five fundamental concepts are confidentiality, processing integrity, availability, security, and privacy.

Why is SOC 2 compliance so crucial for data security?

While SOC 2 compliance isn’t a requirement for SaaS and cloud computing vendors, its role in securing your data cannot be overstated. SOC 2 Type II compliance requires an extensive auditing and documentation process that ensures best practices are in place to prevent, detect, and repair any threats to data security. This process can take up to 12 months, providing multiple layers of protection to prevent and address security threats.

Some of the SOC 2 Type II audit activities conducted to provide the reliable delivery of services include:

• Confirming the operational effectiveness of networks, hardware, and facilities used to deliver Prevu3D’s software
• Testing procedures related to data security and data encryption
• Evaluating our software development processes, including managing changes to applications and databases
• Providing individuals who support the delivery of services to customers are properly vetted and trained
