SOC 2 Controls Efficiency
SOC 2 Controls Efficiency is a process used to assess if the security measures you have in place in your business environment are doing their job like it’s supposed to.
For example, you have a secure vault storing all your important documents and valuables. To keep it safe, you have a security system with multiple layers of protection, including access control, surveillance cameras, and motion sensors. Now, the efficiency of this security system matters a lot. If any of these components fail or work at reduced efficiency levels, it becomes a recipe for chaos.
Similarly, SOC 2 Controls are the tools and strategies you use to prevent and detect any security mishaps or unauthorized access to sensitive data. These controls include:
| Security Controls | Like the locks on your vault |
| Confidentiality Controls | To keep sensitive data confidential |
| Privacy Controls | Ensures only authorized individuals can access certain information |
| Processing Integrity Controls | Ensure data is processed accurately |
| Availability Controls | Makes sure data is accessible when needed |
If you do find that any of these controls are not performing as expected, it’s a sign that you need to repair the control in place or deploy new solutions if patching fails.
