Imagine you're running a successful, fast-growing software company. Your dream customer comes along with the contract that will set your company up for long-term success. But there's something holding up the deal: They want to ensure your application is secure and they want a third party to validate that. This is where SOC 2 comes in. SOC 2 is a compliance framework that helps companies build trust with customers, investors, and prospects, and unlock growth in new markets and verticals through third-party audits. In this course, instructor AJ Yawn helps individuals in any role understand the core concepts of the SOC 2 framework and how companies use this compliance report to build trust with their customers. AJ details the sometimes-confusing and overwhelming documentation, covers what to look for in each section of the report, and how to read SOC 2 reports. He also explains how auditors perform assessments during a SOC 2 examination and what to expect when being audited.
