SOC 2 CERTIFICATION – ATLANTA (GA)

Atlanta and Georgia business owners need to ensure sensitive data is protected, especially as it relates to financial and personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) (e.g., social security numbers, medical records) of customers.  Ensuring the company has robust internal controls and cybersecurity policies and practices in place to protect against a breach is essential. In fact, many may expect to see a System and Organization Controls (SOC) report before doing business with a company. This examination (often referred to as a “SOC 2 audit”) verifies that the controls, processes, and procedures have been tested and indicates whether controls are effective.

SOC 2 Examinations – Atlanta (GA)

  • SOC 2 Examinations – These examinations concentrate on the Trust Services Categories and Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and/or privacy.
