Everyone wants that SOC2 seal of approval for their business, thinking that it makes them more secure and marketable. In reality, the SOC2 for most organizations is a balancing act between security and compliance controls to make the organization FEEL and LOOK secure. Since organizations can dictate the scope of what the SOC2 audits, it can be very misleading as to the entirety of what the SOC2 is covering.
The true nature of the SOC2 is to instill security best practices and holding companies accountable. By limiting the scope or just completing SOC2 items by "checking the box," you are doing both your company and the community a disservice as the entirety of your digital presence may still be insecure.
As an IT Manager, you may not even be attempting to "check the box" on purpose. But when deadlines approach, and you haven't got the time or resources to properly implement to manage all the controls required of the SOC2, compliance officers are put in a tough spot to ensure the SOC2 audit is completed successfully.
Luckily, Tetherview has come up with a seamless solution that allows you to be upfront and honest about the true scope of your SOC2 and ensure all required controls are in place and constantly managed and monitored.
