What is the AICPA?
AICPA is the acronym for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The AICPA is the originator of the SOC (System and Organization Controls) audit and reporting standards.
Through the SOC 2 standard, the AICPA sets guidelines for the evaluation of an organization’s data Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Privacy, and Processing Integrity — a set of criteria known as the Trust Services Criteria.

As the number and severity of third-party breaches continue to rise, companies are scrutinizing more closely not just on how they handle data, but how their vendors do as well. For security leaders, this means more security reviews are coming across their desks every day. Join us to learn how Vanta Trust Center can help streamline security reviews.
