SOC 2 Type 2 Risk Assessment and Compliance Services

SOC 2 Type 2 Services assess an organization’s control environment to meet strict security and data protection standards. These services identify risks, evaluate the design and effectiveness of security controls, and address vulnerabilities affecting system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Organizations receive guidance on aligning with SOC 2 criteria, including data access, encryption, monitoring, and incident response policies. Through comprehensive audits and customized remediation, these services help businesses achieve SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and demonstrate trustworthiness to clients and stakeholders.

At digiALERT, we specialize in SOC 2 Type 2 assessments. Our SOC 2 Type 2 assessments provide a comprehensive view of your organization’s controls relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. We analyze your systems to identify any gaps in the design and operational effectiveness of these controls. We start by reviewing your organization’s policies, procedures, and processes to ensure they align with SOC 2 standards. This includes evaluating controls for access management, data protection, and system monitoring.

Once identified, we provide detailed recommendations on how to address any deficiencies to strengthen your security posture. Next, we assess the operational effectiveness of these controls over a defined period, ensuring they are consistently followed and effective in mitigating risks. This includes testing controls for incident response, data encryption, and audit logging. We also evaluate the system for compliance with industry standards and regulations, ensuring it meets the trust service criteria required for SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
