SOC 2 Compliance & Attestation Services (Type I & Type II)

What is SOC 2 Compliance?

Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 is the gold-standard security audit framework for technology companies handling client data in the cloud. A SOC 2 report provides independent, third-party assurance that an organization’s information security measures meet the highest industry standards.

Gitchia assists SaaS platforms, managed service providers (MSPs), fintech companies, and data centers in preparing for, auditing, and securing both SOC 2 Type I (point-in-time design) and SOC 2 Type II (operational effectiveness over 3–12 months) attestation reports.

The 5 Trust Services Criteria

• Security (Common Criteria): Defending data and systems against unauthorized access, hacking, and exfiltration.
• Availability: Ensuring critical cloud services maintain high uptime SLAs and disaster recovery readiness.
• Processing Integrity: Guaranteeing that system processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized.
• Confidentiality: Protecting proprietary intellectual property, financial records, and confidential customer data.
• Privacy: Ensuring personal identifiable information (PII) is collected, used, and stored in line with global privacy laws.

Why SOC 2 is Essential for Tech Companies
