SOC2 Certification

What is SOC2 Certification?

SOC2 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 SOC2 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.

SOC 2 is an auditing procedure that ensures your service providers securely manage your data to protect the interests of your organization and the privacy of its clients. For security-conscious businesses, SOC 2 compliance is a minimal requirement when considering a SaaS provider. It is the assessment and subsequent testing of controls relating to the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) of Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, or Privacy. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 defines the criteria for managing customer data based on five “trust service principles": security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Unlike PCI DSS, which has very rigid requirements, SOC 2 reports are unique to each organization.
