How to share my SOC 2 report?

SOC 2 report is not for public sharing. This report is classified as a Restricted Use Report, which means it’s not meant to be accessible by everyone.

This is because the report has detailed insights into your company’s systems and controls, some of which might be unique to your business. From a safety standpoint, keeping this confidential information away from competitors or anyone with malicious intentions is a clever move.

However, even though you can’t openly hand out the SOC 2 report, you can of course announce that you’ve completed the attestation. This can give you an edge in the market. The AICPA has even designed a special logo for this purpose, and there are clear rules about how you can use it and share the good news with the public.

And if you still want to share it with the public, consider the SOC 3 report instead. SOC 3 report can be issued alongside your SOC 2 report without much extra effort. The SOC 3 report is different because it’s designed to be more general and accessible. The best part is that you can use it as a marketing tool to show your system’s security on your website and share it with potential clients.
