Confidentiality
In the context of SOC 2 (Service and Organization Controls), confidentiality refers to the principle that requires organizations to protect the confidentiality of their customer’s data and information. The confidentiality principle is one of five Trust Services Criteria covered in a SOC 2 attestation engagement.
To meet the confidentiality principle, organizations must have controls to ensure that their customers’ data and information are kept confidential and only accessed by authorized individuals. This may include access controls, data encryption, and secure data transmission.
