SOC 2 Type II
Files.com undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type II audit as part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a high standard of security, availability, and operational integrity.
This audit is conducted by an independent third-party auditor and provides assurance that Files.com has implemented—and consistently follows—robust security controls.
What Is SOC 2 Type II?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how cloud service providers like Files.com handle customer data across five Trust Services Criteria:
- Security – Protection against unauthorized access, both physical and logical
- Availability – System availability and uptime, relative to business commitments
- Processing Integrity – Accuracy and reliability of system processing
- Confidentiality – Protection of sensitive or restricted data
- Privacy – Collection, use, retention, and disposal of personal information
There are two types of SOC 2 reports:
- Type I: Validates that appropriate controls exist at a single point in time.
- Type II: Evaluates not only the existence of controls, but also their operating effectiveness over time—typically a 3 to 12-month period.
SOC 2 Type II is the more rigorous of the two, and provides higher assurance to customers that security controls are not only in place, but are consistently followed and monitored.
