SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an internationally recognised auditing framework used to evaluate how organisations manage customer data and maintain strong information security practices. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 focuses on five trust service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Organisations that successfully complete a SOC 2 audit demonstrate that they have implemented robust controls to protect customer data and maintain secure system operations. SOC 2 compliance is particularly important for cloud service providers, SaaS companies, and technology vendors that manage sensitive customer information. Although SOC 2 originated in the United States, many Australian technology companies pursue SOC 2 certification to build trust with international customers and demonstrate strong cybersecurity governance.

MyRISK can support SOC 2 readiness and ongoing management by linking trust service criteria to controls, evidence, testing, exceptions, and reporting. This helps organisations maintain a clearer and more sustainable assurance model rather than treating SOC 2 as a periodic project. It also improves the reusability of evidence across adjacent frameworks.
