SOC 2 Type II vs. ISO 27001: What Each Credential Proves About a Video Infrastructure Vendor
Security and procurement teams increasingly ask software vendors for both a SOC 2 Type II report and an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate. The two documents prove different things. Mike Vitale’s new guide explains the difference and how each credential applies to software that runs on-premises, at the edge, or as a managed service.
The guide covers:

  • Why SOC 2 is an attestation from a CPA firm, while ISO/IEC 27001 is a certification from an accredited body
  • What SOC 2 Type I and Type II examinations test, and what an unqualified opinion means
  • The five Trust Services Criteria and the ISMS requirements behind ISO/IEC 27001
  • How to verify a certification body’s accreditation
  • What vendor credentials cover when software runs on customer infrastructure
