"A Type II report shows how controls actually performed across the audit window, not just how they were designed on paper. That's what procurement and security teams want to see, and it's what we provide" — Karl Bagci, Director of IT and Information Security, Exclaimer
What does SOC 2 Type II cover?
SOC 2 is the audit framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for evaluating how service organizations manage customer data in the cloud. It is one of the most widely requested standards in US enterprise vendor reviews.
SOC 2 Type II in plain terms
SOC 2 is an attestation, not a certification. An independent auditor evaluates a service organization's controls against the trust service criteria the organization chooses to include. The auditor issues a report describing what was tested and the conclusions reached.
Type II is the version most security and procurement teams look for. A Type I report confirms controls are designed correctly at a single point in time. A Type II report proves those controls operated effectively across a continuous audit period, typically 12 months, with evidence collected throughout. The result is independently validated evidence that the controls protecting customer data are operating effectively over time.
Why SOC 2 Type II matters for email signature management
Email signature management platforms like Exclaimer integrate directly with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace directories, processing directory data and routing email through the service. SOC 2 Type II compliance provides assurance that the controls protecting this data, including employee information and email content during processing, operate effectively over time, not just at a single point.
The trust service criteria in our report
Exclaimer's SOC 2 Type II report covers three of the five trust service criteria:
Security (Common Criteria): Protection of systems and customer data against unauthorized physical and logical access.
Availability: Operation and uptime of the service as committed to customers.
Confidentiality: Protection of information designated as confidential by the customer.
Processing Integrity and Privacy aren’t in scope. Privacy controls for personally identifiable information are covered by our broader information security program and the data protection obligations set out in our customer agreements.
