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.
When you need financial support, funding, large affiliate partners, and other support, you have to make sure the solutions you're building will be SOC 1 & SOC 2 complliant. It actually costs less to build compliance in from the ground up, and it also makes compliance easier to document and maintain going forward.
