SDVOSB Aquia Inc. Announces SOC 2 Type II Acceleration Offering

MILLSBORO, Del. - April 18, 2023 - PRLog -- Aquia Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in cloud and cybersecurity professional services, today announced the launch of Zero to SOC 2 (Z2S2), an innovative accelerator program designed to help organizations navigate the Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) Type II audit report with confidence, speed, and agility.

The SOC 2 audit report evaluates how well a service organization's internal controls and processes ensure the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of its customers' data. There are two types of SOC 2 reports: Type I and Type II. A Type I report evaluates the service organization's controls and processes at a specific point in time, whereas a Type II report is more thorough, as it evaluates the effectiveness of those controls and processes over a period of time, typically six to 12 months.

The Aquia Z2S2 accelerator program streamlines the audit through a unique blend of foundational infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and automation, tailored to the specific needs of each customer's application, resulting in shorter time to market and cost savings.

With Aquia Z2S2, customers receive:

• Custom interpretation and prioritization of SOC 2 trust services criteria
• Top security engineers and compliance experts at their fingertips
• Artifact generation and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform access
• Continuous monitoring they can trust
• Annual SOC 2 report renewal
• Streamlined SOC 2 to FedRAMP authorization

"At Aquia, we are always looking for new opportunities to support the needs of our clients, and we are confident that this new service offering will fill a gap in the market for clients who are looking for a partner on their compliance journey," said Kalid Tarapolsi, vice president of strategy at Aquia. "We are striving to be a one-stop-shop for the cybersecurity compliance needs of our customers, and Z2S2 is another demonstration of these efforts."

Aquia works closely with Datalock, a trusted partner and third-party assessment organization (3PAO), to ensure its customers are prepared to take on their SOC 2 audit report with confidence.
