What Is SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance?
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance indicates that a company properly protects its customers’ information systems and data. A SOC 2 Type 2 report assesses a cloud-based service provider’s security controls and its ability to safeguard sensitive data and information. It evaluates the company’s security controls themselves, how effective they are and how well the company uses them.

SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance Benefits
Partnering with a business compliant with SOC 2 Type 2 standards is essential for data security. When you work with a SOC 2 Type 2 compliant company, you can trust that they meet expectations in the following trust service principles (TSPs):
- Availability: Businesses must meet performance and operational uptime standards to ensure customer data remains available. A SOC 2 Type 2 compliant company handles security incidents effectively and implements the proper disaster recovery and network performance monitoring procedures.
- Security: Under these standards, only vetted personnel have access to your data.
- Confidentiality: For a company to comply with SOC 2 Type 2 standards, all of its contractors and employees who must access sensitive data sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to ensure confidentiality.
- Privacy: SOC 2 Type 2 compliant companies such as Inkwell Global Marketing isolate customer data and cloud environments to prevent co-mingling and ensure data and information privacy.
- Processing integrity: You can rely on a SOC 2 Type 2 compliant company to process your cloud data accurately and on time.
