Understanding
It all starts with a conversation with one of our security experts who can help you decipher and take control of your security assessment.
Developed by the AICPA, SOC 2 is specifically designed for service providers storing customer data in the cloud. CIT stores customer data in the cloud so it is important that we meet SOC 2 requirements in order to minimize risk and exposure to that data.
What exactly does SOC 2 require?
SOC 2 requires companies to establish and follow strict information security policies and procedures, encompassing the security, availability, processing, integrity, and confidentiality of customer data. SOC 2 ensures that a company’s information security measures are in line with the parameters of today’s cloud requirements.
Hiring a full-time CISO can be extremely expensive. Many CISOs cost over $200k when factoring salary and benefits, which is often too expensive for many small and medium organizations. By hiring a vCISO, you pay only for what you need. This may include a few hours per month, or a few hours per week.
To remain defensible, security has quickly become a core function of business. Security risks are not limited only to technology. Mitigating risk properly requires extending attention to vendor management, policies and procedures, and corporate culture. The security landscape is rapidly changing, thus requiring constant identification, prioritization, and mitigation of these threats.
Whether you are adopting a new security framework, or maintaining current compliance, our vCISO will help you navigate the compliance requirements. This includes documenting current security controls, identifying gaps in current controls, and planning a way forward.
