About this listen
In this episode of Compliance Technologies, we continue the SOC 2 series by focusing on the Security Trust Service Criteria and why, in SOC 2, security is not the end goal, but the baseline.
Rather than treating security as a collection of tools or policies, this episode explores how SOC 2 evaluates whether security is operationally enforced through systems and infrastructure. We discuss why manual controls, screenshots, and one-time efforts don’t scale, and how consistent, system-driven enforcement is what SOC 2 actually expects.
This conversation reframes security as something systems quietly do every day, not something teams scramble to demonstrate during an audit window. It also highlights why many SOC 2 challenges are architectural rather than procedural.
If you build, operate, or oversee systems that handle sensitive data, this episode will help you understand what SOC 2 is really asking when it evaluates security and why reliability matters more than heroics.
