Our Journey to SOC 2 Compliance

< p > As Snigo grew into larger teams and enterprise organizations, one question kept coming up: "Are you SOC 2 compliant?" As of this month, the answer is yes.Here's what that journey looked like.

< h2 > What Is SOC 2 ? < p > SOC 2(Service Organization Control 2) is an auditing framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs.It evaluates a company's controls around five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

< p > Type II means we were audited over a sustained period(6 months), not just at a point in time.It verifies that our controls are not just in place but consistently followed.

Every process needs to be written down, every policy formalized, every exception tracked.
