SOC 2 Processing Integrity

The Processing Integrity category is an optional SOC 2 add-on to the Security criteria that covers whether a system processes data completely, accurately, on time and as authorized. It looks at processing specifications, input validation, processing controls, outputs and stored data. Include it when customers rely on your system producing correct results, for example in payments, payroll, billing or data transformation services.
