A SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA. During the audit, a service organization’s non-financial reporting controls, including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, are tested. The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of Uptake’s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria, … Uptake delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on Uptake’s controls.
