Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the differences between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I is a snapshot in time - it looks at the controls you have in place at that moment in time. Type II examines how your controls perform over time. Type II takes longer and is more costly to achieve, but it is generally more requested (and respected) by customers, partners, and prospects. -
If we start with SOC2 Level 1 and decide to go with Level 2 later, do we pay the full price for Level 2?
Your security will be in place with Level 1 and you will be paying a monthly subscription price for Platinum security. That won't change. You will only pay the difference in the SOC 2 Level 1 and 2 compliance package.
-
Once we are SOC 2 certified, how can our company demonstrate proof to requestors?
BEMO Compliance customers receive a public trust page to share with customers and partners, showing real-time compliance framework and security control status.
