SOC Certification

What is SOC Certification?

SOC is a widely adopted and standardized Quality Management System (QMS) for the Aerospace industry. The aerospace community has specific requirements that need to be taken into account, and the QMS needs to incorporate these critical requirements. The SOC Certification was introduced in 1997 by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) based on the internationally recognized standard ISO 9001 in order to encourage International quality, safety, and technology standards in air transport. The certification can be applied to all areas in aviation like design and manufacture of equipment, airport and airline operations, aircraft accessory supply, spares supply, and maintenance.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA) put Service Organization Controls (SOC) in place to be used by independent third-party auditors to evaluate data centre providers and report on the risks associated with data management. SOC provides potential clients with insights into a data centre’s infrastructure, technology usage, personnel, and the procedures it has in place to safeguard your data. The data centre’s facility and processes are audited using strict standards to ensure they continually follow best practices and meet the highest government and industry regulations.
