SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an auditing framework from the AICPA that reports on a service organization's controls relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, known as the Trust Services Criteria. A SOC 2 Type II report evaluates control effectiveness over a period and is widely requested from data center and cloud providers as assurance of sound operational controls.
