SOC 2 Audited | Virtual CIO (vCIO) Services
At PCR Business Systems, we take pride in the exceptional services we provide to our customers. To further show our commitment to our partners, our company completed the System and Organization Control (SOC 2) audit process. Our team did this for one reason, to make sure our clients know that we follow the best practices in the IT industry and that we take no shortcuts in protecting their data.
SOC 2 was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to help address risk concerns for businesses that outsource services to third parties. It’s an independent audit that assesses the internal security controls a managed service provider (MSP) has in place. The purpose of this audit is to ensure the MSP is properly managing data security and delivering the services in their user agreements.
We decided to undergo this audit to provide solace to you, our partner. You can rest easy knowing that your IT environment is in the hands of experts who have your best interests at heart.
