SOC Type 2 Compliance
Service Organization Control Type 2 was introduced by AICPA (American Institute of CPAs) in 2013. It is a method for guaranteeing that service providers safely manage your data to protect your company’s interests and its clients’ privacy. SOC 2 is constructed around five principles to secure consumer data: security, confidentiality, availability, integrity, and privacy. SOC 2 applies to technology-based SaaS companies as well as third-party vendors and other partners who must adhere to these standards to assure the data’s integrity.
SOC 2 Type 1 – A SOC 2 Type 1 report evaluates the design and implementation of an organization’s controls at a specific point in time. It provides a snapshot of the organization’s system and the suitability of the design of its controls as of a particular date.
SOC 2 Type 2 – A SOC 2 Type 2 report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of an organization’s controls over a specified period (usually six months to a year). This type of report assesses both the design and operating effectiveness of the controls.
PCI-DSS Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a comprehensive set of requirements designed to ensure the security of cardholder data. Established in 2004, PCI DSS aims to enhance the protection of sensitive authentication data (SAD) within the cardholder data environment (CDE). PCI DSS compliance is mandatory for all organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.
However, even organizations that do not directly handle cardholder data may need to comply with PCI DSS if they interact with entities that do. This requirement ensures that the entire payment card ecosystem maintains high security standards to protect sensitive information.
Any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data must adhere to PCI DSS requirements to maintain the security and integrity of this information. Compliance involves implementing robust security measures, including secure network configurations, access controls, regular monitoring and testing, and maintaining an information security policy.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 governs data protection and privacy in the European Union and the European Economic Area. The goal is to enable the safe and open flow of data across EU borders, as well as to safeguard all EU citizens from data breaches and privacy violations.
