SOC 2 Compliance Overview

LiteSOC is designed to help startups achieve and maintain SOC 2 compliance. This guide explains what SOC 2 is, how LiteSOC supports your compliance journey, and what evidence we provide for audits.

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a security framework developed by the AICPA that defines criteria for managing customer data based on five "Trust Service Criteria":

1. Security - Protection against unauthorized access
2. Availability - System accessibility and uptime
3. Processing Integrity - Accurate and complete data processing
4. Confidentiality - Protection of confidential information
5. Privacy - Personal information handling
