SOC 1 & SOC 2 (System & Organization Controls Compliance) certifications prove to investors, strategic partners, bank financing teams, and the general public that your business handles personal and financial data safely.
Whether you’re assembling your founding team, closing your next round of funding, or scaling your operations, understanding—and efficiently meeting—your compliance obligations is critical to your success.
Join us for a round table to chat about strategies and tactics required to gain certification.
You will:
- Have a chance to introduce yourself and your business.
- Talk about where you are with SOC 1 & SOC 2 certification.
- Discuss the requirements and infrastructure of your platform or service
- Share strategies, tools, and other elements you're using or plan to use
- Discover ways to make achieving compliance easer.
