SotaTek Officially Achieves SOC 2 Type II Certification – Globally Validated Data Security and Operational Reliability

In data-driven industries such as cloud, IT services, AI, and healthcare, two factors are consistently non-negotiable: security and trust. This is also why many global enterprises now require SOC 2 Type II as a baseline standard when selecting technology partners.

This article explains what SOC 2 Type II is and what SotaTek’s achievement means for customers.

What Is SOC 2 Type II?

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an internationally recognized assurance framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates how well an organization protects customer data and manages controls related to security and privacy.

SOC 2 Type II goes beyond a one-time review of policies or design.
It involves an independent third-party auditor assessing how consistently security controls operate over a defined period (typically six months or longer) in real operational conditions.

In other words, it does not simply ask:
“Do you have security controls in place?”
It verifies:
“Are those controls working effectively and continuously in practice?”

Core Trust Services Criteria Assessed in SOC 2 Type II

SOC 2 Type II evaluates an organization across five core control areas (Trust Services Criteria):

• Security: Protection against unauthorized access, breaches, and data leakage
• Availability: System stability, uptime, and incident response capability
• Processing Integrity: Accuracy and consistency of data processing
• Confidentiality: Safeguards for sensitive and confidential information
• Privacy: Management of personal data collection, use, retention, and deletion

SOC 2 Type I vs. Type II (Key Difference)

• Type I: Assesses whether controls are properly designed at a specific point in time
• Type II: Assesses whether controls are operating effectively and consistently over an extended period

Because of this operational validation, global customers typically view Type II as the more rigorous and reliable standard.

Why SOC 2 Type II Matters

SOC 2 Type II is especially important for:

• Cloud / SaaS / IT outsourcing providers
• Projects handling sensitive data, such as in healthcare, fintech, and AI
• Engagements requiring alignment with global compliance expectations and cross-border regulatory requirements

Achieving SOC 2 Type II provides formal assurance that an organization’s:

• Security policies
• Operational processes
• Internal control environment

meet internationally recognized expectations for security and reliability.

SotaTek Officially Achieves SOC 2 Type II Certification

SotaTek has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, independently audited and validated by a licensed CPA (Certified Public Accountant).

This certification is not merely a documentation review. It demonstrates that SotaTek’s security controls have been operating consistently across its real development and operational environments throughout the audit period.

This milestone reflects SotaTek’s ongoing operating principles, including:

• Structured security management across the full project lifecycle
• Internal control processes aligned with global customer expectations
• Proven delivery experience in high-security industries such as healthcare and fintech
• Continued alignment with international security standards, including ISO/IEC 27001

What This Means for Customers

SotaTek’s SOC 2 Type II certification helps customers realize clear business value:

• Reduced security risk through independently validated controls
• Easier global compliance alignment for international projects and regulations
• Stronger partner confidence when vendor assurance is required
• More stable, sustainable service operations backed by audited processes

For organizations expanding globally - especially those running data-sensitive initiatives - this significantly reduces the burden of repeatedly explaining and proving security practices to stakeholders, clients, and regulators.
