What is a SOC 2 audit?
A SOC 2 is an AICPA attestation engagement that reports on an organization’s controls against the Trust Services Criteria. Security is the required set, known as the common criteria. Availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy can be added based on what matters to your customers. The report gives third parties independent evidence that your controls are sound.
Who needs a SOC 2?
- SaaS and technology companies selling to enterprise buyers.
- Cloud and infrastructure providers.
- Data processors and analytics platforms.
- Managed service and security providers.
- Any organization asked for a SOC 2 during procurement or vendor review.
What a SOC 2 covers
A SOC 2 reports on the controls you use to meet the Trust Services Criteria you select. The report type is chosen based on where you are and what customers require.
- Security, the required common criteria, covering access, change management, monitoring, and risk.
- Optional criteria: availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
- Type I: design of controls at a point in time.
- Type II: design and operating effectiveness over a period, commonly three to twelve months.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Type I or a Type II first?
A Type I shows your controls are designed properly at a point in time and can be produced quickly, which helps when a deal is pending. A Type II shows they also operated effectively over a period, which most customers eventually require. Many companies start with Type I and move to Type II, and Modus helps you plan that path.
Which Trust Services Criteria should I include?
Security is always required. Add availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy when they match your service and what customers ask for. Modus helps you scope the right set so the report answers their questions without extra cost.
What is a SOC 3 and do I also need one?
A SOC 3 is a general-use summary based on your SOC 2 that you can post publicly. It is useful for marketing and website use, while the full SOC 2 stays under NDA. Modus can help you produce both from the same work.
