SOC 2

SOC 2 is an attestation report, produced by an independent auditor, assessing whether a service organization's controls meet defined trust service criteria — most commonly security, but often also availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy. It has become a near-universal requirement for B2B SaaS companies selling to enterprise customers, who typically ask for a current SOC 2 report before signing a contract. Continuous vulnerability scanning and periodic penetration testing are common controls auditors look for as evidence supporting the security trust principle, which is exactly the kind of evidence Venstap's compliance mapping and reporting are designed to produce.
