Gaining your SOC 2 Attestation
The final stretch of your SOC 2 journey is gaining your attestation report, which serves as tangible proof of your security commitment. This attestation report becomes a powerful sales and marketing tool that can accelerate deals and reduce security questionnaires.
The SOC 2 attestation process involves several key stages: collecting evidence, reviewing documentation, undergoing the audit, addressing any findings, and receiving the final report. Each phase requires careful planning and execution to ensure a smooth process.
Once you receive your attestation report, develop a strategy for sharing it with stakeholders. Most organizations provide the SOC 2 report under NDA to prospects and customers, while publishing the fact that they are SOC 2 compliant on their website and marketing materials.
