A risk manager at a large multinational needs to demonstrate that internal safeguards for data handling meet external expectations. Which recognized method best positions the organization for a credible outside review?
Rely on a cloud provider’s alliance resource for best-practice recommendations
Use a code scanner that flags data handling risks for the security team
Obtain an attestation known as SOC 2 to verify established controls
Adopt an overhead checklist tailored to organizational goals
SOC 2 is widely recognized in external reviews for verifying categories like security and confidentiality. It is designed to provide an attestation of established practices, which fosters trust. A code scanner or overhead checklist may be useful internally but lacks recognized third-party validation. A resource from a cloud alliance helps guide basic implementations but does not typically provide formal attestation.
