SOC 2 is more than just a standard – it's a promise. A promise to provide transparency and reliability to our clients. With SOC 2, our clients can be confident that we are fully aligned with best practices in managing and safeguarding their critical information.

What SOC 2 Means

SOC 2 Type II is a rigorous audit process designed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It ensures Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like Nucleus follow strict rules to protect client data.

SECURITY MATTERS

Keeping data safe from unauthorized access and breaches. Controls are put in place to limit access and protect against data breaches that can occur over the web or by physical means. This is where IT security tools such as multi-factor authentication and intrusion prevention systems play a part in protecting systems from breaches.

This is the only mandatory criteria to be included in a SOC 2 report, while all others are optional.

Three Phases of SOC 2 Certification

step 1: Readiness Assessment

Nucleus received third-party guidance. Our team participated and contributed to the process. We documented all internal processes and procedures, as well as tools and systems. 

step 2: audit process

The next step in the process was an audit of all processes and procedures, as well as tools and systems by a verified third-party. It was then confirmed that all requirements were in place.

step 3: Documentation and Official report

A verification report was created documenting that Nucleus is SOC 2 Compliant. Clients can access this report through the Trust Portal.
