Overview of ISO 27001 and SOC2

ISO 27001: Information Security Management

ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for organizations to protect sensitive information through a risk-based approach. Key aspects include:

• Systematic approach to managing sensitive company information
• Risk assessment and treatment
• Comprehensive security controls
• Continuous improvement process

SOC2: Trust Services Criteria

SOC2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that focuses on managing customer data based on five "trust service principles": security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Key aspects include:

• Security: Protection against unauthorized access
• Availability: System availability for operation and use
• Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, accurate, timely, and authorized
• Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected
• Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed in conformity with commitments
