AICPA SOC — SOC for Service Organizations

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a security framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how a company protects customer data based on five Trust Service Criteria:

Security

AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3, MFA, role-based access

Availability

24/7 monitoring, automated backups, incident response

Confidentiality

Data classification, access logging, EU-hosted infrastructure

A SOC 2 audit is conducted by an independent third-party auditor who evaluates controls over months of real operation — not just a checklist.

Why SOC 2 Matters for Accounting Firms

Your clients trust you with their most sensitive financial data. When you choose practice management software, you need to know that trust is protected at every level.

  • Client expectations — larger clients increasingly require SOC 2 compliance from their service providers
  • Regulatory pressure — frameworks like GDPR and FTC guidelines demand demonstrable data protection
  • Competitive advantage — SOC 2 compliance differentiates your firm and builds client confidence
  • Risk reduction — audited controls mean fewer vulnerabilities and faster incident response

What the Audit Covers

Encryption at rest

AES-256

Encryption in transit

TLS 1.3

Password hashing

SHA-512 + salt

Key exchange

RSA 2048-bit

Infrastructure

EU (Germany)

Firewall

UFW default-deny

The audit evaluates our security controls, access management, encryption standards, monitoring systems, and incident response procedures across the entire infrastructure and application stack.

How We Meet These Standards

SOC 2 is not a one-time checkbox — it requires continuous adherence to security controls:

  • Encryption everywhere — AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, SHA-512 password hashing with unique salts
  • EU infrastructure — all data hosted in Frankfurt, Germany within EU jurisdiction
  • Access controls — multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, invitation-only onboarding
  • Continuous monitoring — 24/7 infrastructure monitoring with automated alerts and rapid response
  • Additional certifications — our hosting provider maintains SOC II, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certifications
