Definition
What is Service Organization Control 2?
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a rigorous auditing standard developed by AICPA that validates a service provider's controls across five Trust Service Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. For AI and technology vendors, SOC 2 compliance is increasingly required by enterprise customers to prove that systems handle data securely.
Over 80% of enterprise procurement processes now require SOC 2 compliance from technology vendors. SOC 2 Type II audits examine controls over a minimum 6-month period, providing assurance that security practices are consistently maintained, not just documented. This has become a market-entry requirement for B2B SaaS and AI service providers.
BespokeWorks builds AI automation solutions that operate within SOC 2 compliant frameworks. Our implementations include access controls, encryption, audit logging, and continuous monitoring aligned with SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, enabling enterprise deployment with confidence.
