With 5+ vulnerabilities<\/a> being discovered every minute, a SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) compliance certificate demonstrates to customers and partners that the organization is committed to security and adheres to industry best practices for safeguarding data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from customer trust, it can help organizations find and fix security vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. In this blog, you\u2019ll learn how SOC 2 vulnerability scanning helps meet compliance requirements, as well as how to build out an effective scanning program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What SOC 2 Actually Requires<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SOC 2 is based on Trust Service Criteria (TSC), which comprise five main risk-based categories: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Security focuses on preventing unauthorized access to system resources. Availability guarantees that systems are running as promised or contracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Processing Integrity examines whether the processing is valid and has been authorized. Confidentiality keeps information confidential, that which is marked as such. Privacy provides the assurance that collected, used, and stored personal information is safeguarded as per the promises made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most companies focus on the Security criterion at a minimum, with vulnerability scanning directly supporting this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure audit readiness fast with SOC 2 compliance software<\/a> that automates evidence collection and risk tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
