You're listening to episode six of The Tea on Cybersecurity. What is SOC 2? To be completely honest, SOC 2 was a term that I had heard before I started at Trave Security. The very first tech company I worked for was in a frenzy to become SOC 2 certified. In order for a customer to sign with us, it was a requirement of the customer for us to be SOC 2 certified.

So heard in meetings them trying to go through the different steps to be certified. But I never stopped to ask questions of what SOC 2 was. I just knew it was important to get that customer over the line. During this episode, that is all going to change. We are going to have a better understanding of what SOC 2 is and why it's important. The guest on this episode is Marie Joseph, and she is going to talk to us like we're children about SOC 2. Hi, Marie.

MARIE JOSEPH

I'm a security solutions engineer here at Trauma. I originally started as a customer success analyst and then moved up to the security solutions engineer role. I help a lot with our baseline cyber risk assessments, but most importantly, I help with a lot of our compliance management projects. So I help get customers. SOC 2 or ISO certified. And like, we're here to talk about SOC 2. I do it every single day, and I've helped several customers get through it in my backgrounds and in cybersecurity risk management, where I got a master's degree in that at Trava Security. So all the different roles of cyber, I'm excited.

You're the girl for me for this episode, for sure. So before we jump straight into SoC Two, in your words, why do you think people find cybersecurity so intimidating?
