eMusic Wire/10229075

MILLSBORO, Del. - eMusicWire -- Aquia Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in cloud and cybersecurity professional services, today announced the launch of Zero to SOC 2 (Z2S2), an innovative accelerator program designed to help organizations navigate the Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) Type II audit report with confidence, speed, and agility.

The SOC 2 audit report evaluates how well a service organization's internal controls and processes ensure the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of its customers' data. There are two types of SOC 2 reports: Type I and Type II. A Type I report evaluates the service organization's controls and processes at a specific point in time, whereas a Type II report is more thorough, as it evaluates the effectiveness of those controls and processes over a period of time, typically six to 12 months.
