SOC 2 Type I compliance
Independent attestation that verifies the design of security, availability, and confidentiality controls at a point in time.
Detail
SOC 2 is an audit standard administered by the AICPA (American Institute of CPAs). Type I evaluates control design at a specific date; Type II evaluates effective operation over a period (typically 6-12 months). The criteria cover five areas (Trust Services Criteria): security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy. For a serious B2B SaaS, SOC 2 Type II is practically mandatory for enterprise contracts. cifraHQ Enterprise has SOC 2 Type I at launch; the auditor is re-engaging for Type II, expected within the next twelve months. The difference matters: Type I is promise, Type II is proof.
