What Is SOC 2 and Why Does It Matter?
SOC 2 – System and Organization Controls 2 – is a widely recognized auditing framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It provides independent assurance that an organization’s controls are properly designed to protect the security and confidentiality of its systems and data.
Unlike a product certification, SOC 2 is an attestation – meaning an independent auditor has examined your systems and confirmed your controls meet rigorous AICPA standards. There are two levels:
Type 1 examines whether controls are properly designed at a specific point in time.
Type 2 examines whether those controls operated effectively over an extended period – generally considered the higher bar.
CTS has successfully completed the SOC 2 Type 1 examination and has already initiated the Type 2 process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SOC 2 and why does it matter for your clients?
SOC 2 is a widely recognized auditing framework developed by the AICPA that gives organizations independent assurance that their technology partner is handling data the right way. For K-12 schools, nonprofits, and businesses, that assurance isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the foundation of a trustworthy partnership.
Is SOC 2 a certification?
No — and the distinction matters. SOC 2 is an attestation, meaning an independent auditor has examined CTS’s controls and confirmed they are properly designed to protect client data. It carries more weight precisely because it can’t be self-declared.
What separates Type 1 from Type 2?
Type 1 validates that your security controls are well-designed. Type 2 validates that they actually work — consistently, over time. CTS has completed Type 1 and is already underway with Type 2, expected later this year.
What was actually reviewed during the examination?
Independent auditors examined how CTS’s security controls are designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of client data — giving clients documented, third-party validated assurance rather than just a vendor’s word.
What does this mean for organizations working with CTS?
It means every school, nonprofit, and business we serve can point to independently attested evidence that their data is in secure hands — backed by structure, accountability, and a team that holds itself to the highest standards.
