SOC 2

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a widely adopted compliance framework developed by the AICPA that assesses how service organizations protect customer data across five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. SOC 2 Type I reports describe controls at a point in time; SOC 2 Type II reports test those controls over a period (typically 6-12 months). For AI vendors, SOC 2 has become table stakes — enterprise customers routinely require SOC 2 reports before signing contracts. Real-world examples include the SOC 2 reports published by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and most enterprise AI vendors. While not AI-specific, SOC 2 controls map well to AI security and operational risks. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs treat vendor SOC 2 status as a foundational due-diligence requirement when evaluating any third-party AI tool — supporting responsible AI through documented vendor security in every enterprise AI portfolio.
