If you’re part of a startup, you know you face many of the same challenges as your larger and more established counterparts. And you also know that unlike those other companies, you must address these challenges with fewer resources than they have.
As a leader of a small or mid-sized business (SMB), you may be happy with your current state. However, while not every SMB leader wants to become the next Amazon or Walmart, many do have plans for growth. Here’s how SOC 2 compliance can help those emerging enterprises with those plans.

IT Chronicles has posted an article from Trustero highlighting the key connection between compliance controls and business policies.
This SOC 2 control focuses on ensuring your company regularly reviews who has access to critical IT infrastructure. For this control, your company must log these reviews and take any actions to resolve any access issues discovered during a review.
There are many ways to word such a control, and you should work with your auditor to find the precise wording for your company. The control’s wording must be precise, concise, and authoritative.
The global coronavirus pandemic, the Great Recession, and the Great Resignation have significantly disrupted staffing at all levels at many organizations. These issues could also derail or halt your SOC 2 compliance journey. Here are 4 steps to preparing and mitigating personnel problems:
1) Capture relevant institutional knowledge before it leaves
2) Get your policies together
3) Keep all documentation current
4) Get compliance automation software
