Understanding SOC 2 Compliance
The SOC 2 framework is a globally recognized standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It focuses on Trust Services Criteria,including Security,Availability and Confidentiality to ensure that systems are protected from unauthorized access,reliably available to customers and employees,and that sensitive information remains confidential.
What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?
Obtaining a SOC 2 report involves a CPA audit to attest to an organization's security controls. It aims to determine whether the controls put in place are designed correctly.
Type I reports evaluate an organization's controls at a single point in time,whereas a Type II report examines how well those controls perform over a period of time (typically 3-12 months).
What it means for our customers
This achievement reaffirms Cargobase's position as a trusted partner for enterprise shippers worldwide. By prioritizing data security,we empower our clients to navigate the complexities of global logistics with peace of mind.
