What Is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is a reporting framework that defines security criteria for managing client data, and is developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). Enterprise companies, especially in regulated industries utilize SOC 2 reports as a measure of security preparedness and validation for SaaS solutions and outside vendors. Software companies should consider receiving a SOC 2 Type 1 or SOC 2 Type 2 report to build customer trust, obtain new clients, and streamline enterprise procurement.

soc 2 type 2

How Do You Achieve SOC 2 In The Cloud

Prepare Security Program

Organizations should establish a SOC 2 security program that addresses Trust Services Criteria. Teams should develop administrative policies, implement cloud security controls, and gather all security evidence and documentation to prepare for an audit.

Perform A SOC 2 Audit

Organizations must engage with a AICPA-affiliated third-party audit firm to perform a SOC 2 audit. Teams should consider selecting a reputable firm that has worked with similar clients and security expertise.

Maintain SOC 2 Controls

After receiving a SOC 2 report organizations must continue to maintain SOC 2 internal controls across their AWS cloud environment. Teams must complete a SOC 2 audit every year in order to stay current with their SOC 2 report.

SOC 2 Security Criteria for The Public Cloud

Organizations operating in the public cloud are responsible for specific Trust Service Criteria and internal controls within their public cloud environment. Security teams are responsible for security controls including:

CC5.0: Control Activities – CC5.0 defines requirements for determining control activity types, implementing relevant infrastructure controls, and establishing policies and procedures for maintaining internal controls.

Teams operating in the cloud should create security policies that set standard operating procedures across the IT infrastructure and establish security controls, such as encryption, backup, access control, firewall, and intrusion detection standards across all cloud services. Dash ComplyOps tracks all administrative and technical control activities within your organization and cloud environment.

CC6.0: Logical and Physical Access Controls – CC6.0 defines requirements around managing access to data and systems.

Teams with public cloud infrastructure should define logical access controls using services such Identity Access Management (IAM) and VPCs, Security Groups and Firewall Rules, as well as setting encryption settings for individual cloud resources. Teams can enforce all logical access control requirements through Dash ComplyOps security monitoring.

CC7.0: System Operations – CC7.0 defines requirements for finding system vulnerabilities, responding to security incidents, and resolving security concerns.

Teams should implement cloud solutions vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection and audit logging and develop Vulnerability Scanning and Incident Response Policies. Teams may consider enabling audit logging with Cloudwatch and detecting suspicious network activity with GuardDuty. Dash ComplyOps can ensure that these security solutions are properly enabled across cloud resources.

CC8.0: Change Management – CC8.0 defines requirements for setting baseline system configuration and managing changes to software and systems.

Teams should create a set of baseline cloud security controls with a tool such as Dash ComplyOps and continue to monitor cloud resources for changes to security settings and overall configuration. Dash continuous compliance monitoring can automate this process.

SOC 2 is a reporting framework that defines security criteria for managing client data, and is developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). Enterprise organizations, especially in regulated industries often utilize SOC 2 reports as a measure of security preparedness and validation for SaaS solutions and outside vendors. Companies may ask vendors for a current SOC 2 Type 1 or SOC 2 Type 2 report during procurement and security assessment.

Under the AWS cloud shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for many of the physical compliance safeguards. It is up to the AWS cloud customer to implement administrative policies, set internal security controls and go through a SOC 2 audit with an independent third-party to receive SOC 2 Type II report.

SOC 2 Internal Security Controls

Dash establishes a set of SOC 2 internal controls based around your organization’s established policies and procedures. Security controls are built around individual AWS cloud services, best security practices, and the latest AICPA 2017 SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria (TSC) and aligned security controls. Organization can utilize Dash “click-to-fix” remediations to resolve compliance issues with one click and maintain technical security standards.

Learn More About Technical Controls




Monitor and Maintain Controls For SOC 2 Type II

SOC 2 Type II requires service organizations to validate internal controls over a period of time, typically 6 to 12 months. Dash makes it easy to continuously monitor and maintain SOC 2 internal security controls across your AWS accounts. Dash detects SOC 2 compliance concerns in your cloud environment such as unencrypted EBS volumes, audit logging issues and S3 buckets that are open to the public, alerts your team, and provides steps for resolving issues before they become full-blown violations.

Address SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria (TSC) In AWS

Dash enables teams to build and implement compliance controls around SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and streamline the process for preparing for SOC 2 audit and certification.

Security

The Security principle refers to how system resources are protected against unauthorized access. This principle includes implementing necessary access control, network firewall, intrusion detection systems (IDS).

Availability

The Availability principle refers to the accessibility and availability of systems and core services within the organization, as well as contract and service level agreement (SLA) standards. This principle includes standards around building highly available systems, addressing service failover, resource monitoring, and contingency plans.

Processing Integrity

The Processing Integrity principle refers to the ability of systems to deliver accurate data. Data processing must be accurate, timely, and authenticated. For organizations this includes managing data integrity and setting quality assurance processes for managing data.

Confidentiality

The Confidentiality principle refers to the access and disclosure of data to authorized parties. This includes implementing standards around access control, user roles, network firewalls, and transmission encryption.

Privacy

The Privacy principle refers to system collection, use, and retention of personal information in relation to organization’s privacy policies. Security controls must be implemented to protect Personally identifiable information (PII).
