What Is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is the best way to avoid the security struggle and get right to the point with the nation’s  safest and most reliable business-to-business (B2B) health information exchange (HIE). With SOC 2 Type II Certification, ChartSwap offers a level of assurance for Record Retrieval Companies that their sensitive data is safe and secure.

SOC 2 is based on the Trust Service Criteria from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This framework is a technical audit that ensures that companies comply with security guidelines for confidentiality, availability, integrity, and processing.

• SOC 1 was designed for financial data reporting related to internal controls. SOC 1 compliance indicates that the provider has taken steps to protect the customer from risks associated with financials.
• SOC 2 relates to IT security and privacy for healthcare and customer record management. SOC 2 compliance demonstrates that the provider has taken steps to protect any confidential or personal data.
• SOC 3 is one step further than SOC 2, so it reports the same information. SOC 3 is intended to be an outline for a general audience.

Compared with other compliance initiatives, SOC 2 is the best way to ensure secure and reliable data management. The audit determines compliance by evaluating oversight procedures, a mechanism for alerts, audit trails, and actionable analytics.

SOC 2 is applied to SaaS companies, but also any records management companies and medical services organizations. The SOC 2 processes set up and ensure viable security, but they must also ensure that corrective action can occur.

• SOC 2 is an audit procedure that ensures secure data management.
• It’s the minimal requirement because of the concern over privacy and security.
• Compliance establishes protocols for monitoring for suspicious behavior and unauthorized access.
• The standards and protocols developed for SOC 2 certification demonstrate that a company is reliable because it has been evaluated and approved.

SOC 2 Type II Certification is not a one-and-done process. Type II determines the veracity and security of data management procedures based on ongoing internal security practices.
SOC Type II certification is a badge of trust and reliability for Record Retrieval Companies.
