The importance of vendor and partner security cannot be overstated in today’s business ecosystem. Security breaches from vendors or partners that directly affect companies and their clients are more prevalent now than ever before. SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is a globally recognized auditing procedure that measures a service provider’s ability to securely manage its data and protect the privacy of its clientele. All audited organizations must meet the criteria across five trust service principles, including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
