CyberGuard Compliance Publishes Guide to Understanding SOC 2

ORANGE, Calif., June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ CyberGuard Compliance, a global provider of IT-compliance and cybersecurity services, today announced it is publishing a guide to the SOC 2 compliance standard governing data security. The e-book, The Essential Guide to SOC 2: What It Is and Do You Need It?, is available for free download at https://info.cgcompliance.com/essential-guide-to-soc-2-what-it-is-do-you-need-it.

Data breaches are bad for business; even the possibility of one can scare away customers. As cybercrime damages mount, companies want third-party vendors that are at-risk for data breaches to prove they are properly protected by completing a Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 report. In verifying compliance with requirements related to vital concerns such as security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, a SOC 2 audit provides the assurance that existing clients and prospective customers need. CyberGuard's new guide details SOC 2 audits and explores how they can benefit companies. Features of the e-book include:

• Definitions of SOC 2 reports and audits
• Steps for scoping a SOC 2 audit
• Advice for choosing an audit partner
• Four SOC 2 compliance concerns

"Regulators continue to tighten cybersecurity compliance rules in order to protect companies and consumers from data breaches," says Tim Roncevich, Partner at CyberGuard Compliance. "A SOC 2 report from an independent auditor shows clients that your systems are protected against data breaches and that their data is safe with your company. Our new e-book highlights how SOC 2 can help businesses protect their data and, more importantly, their clients' data."
