SOC 2 Type II Certified - Verified by Vanta

Third-party audited · Continuously monitored

The Reality

Fewer than 0 % of MSPs

worldwide hold SOC 2 Type II certification. Most providers talk about security. We let independent auditors verify it.

What SOC 2 Means

Five trust criteria.
Zero shortcuts.

SOC 2 Type II evaluates an organization against five trust service criteria over an extended observation period. Type I is a snapshot. Type II proves consistency — that controls work month after month, not just the day the auditor shows up.

Security

Systems are protected against unauthorized access, both physical and logical.

Availability

Systems are available for operation and use as committed or agreed.

Processing Integrity

System processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized.

Confidentiality

Information designated as confidential is protected as committed.

Privacy

Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed in conformity with commitments.

For Your Organization

What this means in practice

Your data is handled properly

Access controls, encryption, and data handling procedures aren't just policies — they're audited processes with evidence trails.

Compliance made easier

Working with a SOC 2 certified provider simplifies your own compliance requirements for HIPAA, CJIS, E-Rate, and other regulatory frameworks.

Transparency, not promises

The audit report exists. It's a real document produced by a real auditor. If you're evaluating providers, ask the other ones for theirs.

The Process

Three phases.
No shortcuts taken.

Getting SOC 2 Type II certified isn't something you do over a weekend. Here's what the process looked like for us.

01

Readiness Assessment

We documented every internal process, policy, and system — then held them up against the Trust Services Criteria framework. Governance, risk management, access controls, change management. Every gap was identified and addressed before the auditors arrived.

  • Governance & risk policies
  • Access control procedures
  • Change management workflows
  • Vendor risk assessment
  • Employee security training
02

Independent Audit

A third-party auditor examined our systems, interviewed our team, reviewed our logs, and tested our controls. Not a quick check — an extended observation period verifying that our security practices work consistently, not just on paper.

  • Control effectiveness testing
  • System access log reviews
  • Incident response verification
  • Encryption & data handling
  • Physical security assessment
03

Ongoing Compliance

SOC 2 isn't a one-time trophy. We maintain continuous monitoring through Vanta, with automated evidence collection and real-time alerting. Every quarter, we review controls. Every year, we re-certify. The audit never really ends.

  • Continuous monitoring via Vanta
  • Automated evidence collection
  • Quarterly control reviews
  • Annual re-certification
  • Real-time compliance alerting

Most MSPs talk about security.

We let independent auditors verify it.

Trust Signals

Compliance isn't a checkbox. It's how we operate.

Common Questions

SOC 2 explained

What is SOC 2 Type II certification?

SOC 2 Type II is an independent audit that evaluates an organization's security controls over an extended observation period (typically 6-12 months). Unlike Type I, which is a point-in-time snapshot, Type II verifies that controls are consistently effective over time. It covers five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Why does SOC 2 matter for a managed IT provider?

When you outsource IT management, you're trusting a third party with access to your systems, data, and infrastructure. SOC 2 Type II certification means an independent auditor has verified that the provider maintains proper security controls, access management, incident response procedures, and data protection practices — not just once, but consistently over time.

How many MSPs have SOC 2 Type II certification?

Fewer than 1% of managed IT service providers worldwide hold SOC 2 Type II certification. The audit process requires significant investment in security infrastructure, documentation, and ongoing compliance monitoring, which is why most providers skip it.

What does Vanta verify in the SOC 2 audit?

Vanta provides continuous compliance monitoring that feeds into the SOC 2 audit process. The audit itself is conducted by an independent third-party auditor who examines security policies, access controls, encryption practices, incident response procedures, change management processes, vendor management, employee training, and physical security controls.
