Before diving into the title of this short article, I’d like to briefly explain what a SOC 2 report is for those who may not yet be familiar with the term.
A SOC 2 report is an audit report that validates how a company manages the security, availability, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of data, in accordance with the standards of the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) – Trust Services Criteria (TSC) and SSAE18.
With this understanding, it’s important to highlight that today, many companies are expected to have internal control reports such as SOC 2. For this reason, it’s essential to recognize that they directly or indirectly handle sensitive customer information. As a result, they are responsible for its protection and proper management.
With that in mind, below are some types of companies for which a SOC 2 report is not only applicable but also a key component in their growth and in building trust with clients and business partners.
Companies for which a SOC 2 report applies:
- Cloud Service Providers:
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS) platforms. - Information Technology (IT) Companies:
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and technology consulting firms. - Data Storage Organizations:
Cloud storage services and data centers. - Financial Data Processing Companies:
Payroll, accounting, or payment processing service providers. - Digital Marketing Companies:
Customer Data Platform (CDP) providers and behavioral analytics services. - Human Resources Service Providers:
Recruitment and talent management firms that handle confidential employee information. - Security Solution Providers:

Electronic Health Record (EHR) software providers and telemedicine platforms. - E-commerce Organizations:
Online transaction platforms that process large volumes of personal and financial data. - Companies Handling Sensitive Data:
Organizations that process, store, or transmit confidential client information, such as law firms or insurance companies.
If your company handles sensitive customer information in any of the sectors mentioned above—where data security is critical—then a SOC 2 report is not optional, it’s a necessity.
Today, it’s not enough to claim that you protect your customers’ data; you must prove it with evidence. A SOC 2 report not only helps you meet security standards but also opens the door to new opportunities, strengthens your reputation, and sets you apart in a market where trust is everything.
Don’t wait for a client, partner, or regulator to require this compliance. Take the initiative, protect your business, and make security a pillar of your growth. The time to act is now.
