SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001
SOC, or Systems and Organization Controls reports, are issued by an independent, non-biased auditing company accredited with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). To qualify for SOC 2, an organization must undergo a stringent auditing process and demonstrate that it has controls to ensure relevant trust principles as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system.
ISO 27001 is the leading international standard for handling information security, cybersecurity, and privacy. It provides a framework to help organizations protect their information systematically through the adoption of an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
The primary goal of ISO 27001 and an ISMS is to protect three aspects of information: confidentiality to ensure only authorized persons have access to information; integrity to ensure only authorized persons can change the information, and availability to ensure information is accessible to authorized persons whenever it is needed.
Passing SOC 2 Type 2 examination and ISO 27001 certification audit indicates Pitcher has been independently verified and has implemented a robust system of internal controls to manage security, quality, and compliance and demonstrated its commitment to protecting customers’ data and ensuring customers’ trust. To maintain compliance, Pitcher will be audited annually.
