Processing Integrity

Processing Integrity is one of the five trust service criteria of SOC 2. It refers to how complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized your system processing is. It seeks to address whether your system meets the goal without error, delay, omission, or unauthorized manipulation. Processing integrity is addressed at the functional or system level. 

The overall goal of this principle is to ensure that service organizations process and transact information reliably and accurately. Organizations should have appropriate controls to prevent unauthorized access or modification to data.
