ContextQA is delighted to share an important milestone: We have just received SOC 2 Type 2 compliance!

Achieving such esteemed certification marks an impressive step toward protecting our customer data while upholding stringent security standards, so let's examine exactly what this achievement entails and its importance to you and other consumers.

What Is SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance?

SOC 2, or System and Organization Controls 2, is an auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of CPAs to ensure service providers manage data safely in order to protect both client interests and privacy.

SOC 2 adheres to five "trust service principles," such as security, availability, processing integrity confidentiality and privacy.

SOC 2 Type 2 takes it one step further by not only reviewing existing controls but also monitoring their operational effectiveness over an agreed-upon timeframe, typically six to twelve months.

Being SOC 2 Type 2 compliant becomes an ongoing, meticulously observed process rather than one-off certification.

Journey Toward SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance

Attaining SOC 2 Type 2 compliance was no simple matter; it required extensive audits, implementation of robust controls, and ongoing dedication towards their maintenance over time. Here's an inside glimpse at our journey:

Initial Assessment

Initial Assessment We began our efforts by conducting an in-depth audit of existing processes, controls, and protocols within our organization to help identify areas for improvement and develop a roadmap towards reaching SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

Thorough Auditing

After our initial security assessments were complete, it was time for rigorous auditing of our systems by an independent third-party auditor.

The inspection focused on multiple areas such as data encryption, access controls and incident response plans - something our own in-house staff were unequipped to do effectively.

Implementation of Improved Controls

As per the audit findings, we took steps to enhance our controls by upgrading systems, refining protocols, and aligning all procedures with SOC 2 Type 2 standards. Furthermore, our team were provided training on adhering strictly to these updates measures.

After our controls had been implemented, we conducted a period of continuous evaluation. This step proved essential in meeting SOC 2 Type 2 compliance as it proved our controls weren't just paper thick - they proved their value over an extended period.
