What is SOC 2
The SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is an extensive auditing procedure that ensures that the company has security controls in place to detect, prevent and respond to any security threats. SOC 2 is designed for service providers like Axya which uses the cloud to store customer data.
