To continue the efforts in the same direction and provide more confidence, peace of mind to their customers, VARStreet has started the process of SOC 2 Certification in Q4 ‘2021. As part of SOC 2 certification, every organization has to go through two-step, Type 1 & Type 2 reports (audits).
VASRtreet completed the SOC2 Type 1 in Q4, 2021 that indicates service organization’s system and the suitability of the design of controls. The report also describes the current systems and controls implemented in VARStreet along with it’s review. During the audit process, design sufficiency of all Administrative, Technical and Logical controls are validated.
Although the SOC 2 Type 1 report has its key benefits, VARStreet understands and is thriving for the final goal of completing the SOC 2 Type 2 audit (report) for the greater level of reliance that comes with it. We expect to achieve the same during the year 2022.
