What Is SOC 2?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an auditing framework created by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA), which measures how well a service organization manages customer data, based on five Trust Service Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

There are two kinds of SOC 2 reports.

SOC 2 Type I

Checks if controls are effectively designed at a particular point in time

SOC 2 Type II ← HireNext

Measures whether controls are functioning effectively over time (normally 6–12 months). More rigorous and trusted.

Trust Service Criteria

HireNext’s SOC 2 audit covers all five Trust Service Criteria:

Security (CC)Required

Protects against unauthorized access, use, or modification of the system. This is a mandatory requirement in all SOC 2 audits.

Availability (A)Included

The system is ready to be operated and used as promised or contracted Includes uptime, performance, and disaster recovery

Confidentiality (C)Included

Confidential information is protected as committed or agreed. Focuses on data classification and access controls.

Privacy (P)Included

Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of in accordance with its privacy notice.

Processing Integrity (PI)Included

System processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized to meet the system needs of the entity.
