Proven Security You Can Trust
SOC 2 Type II attestation is a rigorous, independent validation of how effectively an organization protects client data over time. For businesses that rely on technology partners, it provides assurance that systems, processes, and controls are not only in place, but consistently followed.
360 Smart Networks has achieved SOC 2 Type II attestation as part of our commitment to delivering secure, reliable IT and cybersecurity services.
What is SOC 2 Type II Attestation?
SOC 2 is a compliance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how service providers manage data based on five trust service criteria:
- Security
- Availability
- Processing Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
Type II attestation goes beyond reviewing policies. It verifies that these controls are operating effectively over a defined period, typically 6 to 12 months.
This makes SOC 2 Type II one of the most trusted standards for assessing the security and reliability of service providers.
Why SOC 2 Type II Matters
Choosing a technology partner with SOC 2 Type II attestation gives your business confidence that critical systems and data are protected.
It demonstrates:
- Proven security controls, not just documented policies
- Consistent operational processes over time
- Reduced risk of data breaches and disruptions
- Commitment to transparency and accountability
For many organizations, SOC 2 compliance is not just a preference. It is a requirement for working with clients in regulated or security-sensitive industries.
