Silent Infotech – SOC 2 Compliance-Aligned Services

The Five Trust Service Criteria: Your Compliance Foundation

SOC2 trust criteria are the very base of any well-established compliance program. Each trust criterion addresses critical areas of organizational security and operational excellence.

Security

The first and foremost pillar ensures systems and data are protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, or damage. It covers everything-from network security, physical security to access controls and incident response capabilities.

Availability

This element addresses maintaining systems and services at an available operational stage when required. It covers system uptime, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning.

Processing Integrity

It upholds accuracy, completeness, and validity in the processing of systems. Data validation, data reconciliation issues, error handling, and ensuring that systems do what they are expected to do.

Confidentiality

Protect sensitive information designated as confidential by appropriate mechanisms such as access controls, encryption, or data handling procedures.

Privacy

Addresses the proper collection, use, retention, and disposal of personal information to conform to accepted privacy legislation and organizational commitments.

How Silent Infotech Supports Each SOC 2 Trust Criterion?

Our approach toward joint SOC 2 readiness means each trust criterion is handled with appropriate and goal-oriented services supported by proven methodologies: 

Security Excellence 

At the core of our security services are the principal domains for SOC 2. We implement multilevel defense strategies using advanced firewalls, endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, and a suite of SIEM platforms. Secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices help secure systems from the ground up. An ongoing security posture is maintained with regular IAM reviews and vulnerability assessments.

Availability Assurance 

System downtime can be an inconvenience, but it also poses a compliance risk. Our BCP/DR planning ensures your systems are available and operational no matter what unexpected event comes your way. Monitoring is done proactively with uptime and health checks to support system availability standards needed for SOC 2 type 2 audits. 

Processing Integrity 

Data accuracy and system reliability are, after all, essential ingredients for retaining customer goodwill. Our API testing and workflow audits help uncover any integrity issues before they cause something adverse to happen in your operations.   

Confidentiality Controls 

Since sensitive data needs to be protected, one controls approach must be holistic. A comprehensive data classification scheme and role-based access control system ensure that confidential information is encrypted during both processing and in transit.

Privacy Protection 

In the wake of privacy laws like GDPR and CPRA laying out stringent criteria for personal data handling, our privacy-centric services guide organizations to establish proper consent management workflows and PII handling procedures, which outfit dual needs of regulations and SOC 2 standards.  

Key Areas of Support for SOC 2 Readiness 

Achieving SOC 2 compliance touches hundreds of operational areas. Silent Infotech offers a truly holistic approach to all critical components:

Policy Creation and Management 

Strong policies represent the foundation of compliance programming. Our SOC 2 Policy Pack consists of over 20 policies, each one tailored to cover security, access control, incident response, and vendor management. These are not fake templates-they are frameworks customized to fit an organization's specific risk profile and operational requirements.

Risk Assessment and Control Mapping 

To be adequately compliant, one must understand their risk landscape. Our Risk Assessment Toolkit performs supremely thorough threat modeling and control mapping services that truly zero in on vulnerabilities and ensure that appropriate controls are instituted to remedy the identified risks.  

Access Control Excellence 

Proper access control largely affects all trust criteria. Our Access Review Automation services carry out RBAC audits and entitlement reviews that offer continuing oversight mandated for SOC 2 compliance.  

SIEM Strategy and Implementation 

Evidence gathering and log keeping remain the fundamental requirements for SOC 2 audits. Therefore, our SIEM Logging Strategy establishes ample log coverage for auditors to verify the control effectiveness.

Vendor Risk Management 

Third-party relationships create another layer of compliance. Our Vendor Risk Program introduces a comprehensive TPRM framework and vendor questionnaire processes to ensure your supply chain conforms to SOC 2.  

Incident Response Preparedness 

When an incident occurs, the security posture must prove itself. Our Incident Response Playbooks provide SOC 2-aligned procedures for responding to incidents, including appropriate incident handling and documentation required for audit purposes.
