While SOC 2 is not a legal requirement in Australia, it aligns with key data protection laws such as the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and APRA CPS 234. Achieving SOC 2 compliance helps organizations implement robust security measures, reduce cybersecurity risks, and ensure they adhere to Australian data security expectations.

SOC 2 Type 1 assesses an organization’s security controls at a single point in time, while SOC 2 Type 2 evaluates the effectiveness of these controls over a period (typically 3–12 months).

  • SOC 2 Type 1 can take 2–3 months

  • SOC 2 Type 2 can take 6–12 months since it requires ongoing security monitoring
