SOC 2 Compliance Checker

Check SOC 2 compliance requirements

About SOC 2 Compliance

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a framework for managing and securing customer data based on five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Our SOC 2 Compliance Checker evaluates your SSL/TLS configuration against these criteria, checking encryption strength, certificate validity, key management practices, and protocol security to help you identify gaps in your compliance posture.

How to Use

Enter the domain name of the server you want to audit.
Click "Run" to perform the SOC 2 compliance analysis.
Review the results including encryption controls, key management, and protocol compliance.
Address any failing checks to improve your SOC 2 compliance posture.

Use Cases

•Prepare for SOC 2 audits by pre-checking TLS configurations
•Verify encryption controls meet SOC 2 trust service criteria
•Identify weak ciphers or protocols that violate compliance requirements
•Document SSL/TLS security posture for compliance reporting

Frequently Asked Questions

SOC 2 is a voluntary compliance standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It evaluates an organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. SSL/TLS configuration is a key component of the security criterion.

SOC 2 requires strong encryption controls. TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are generally considered compliant. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, as well as SSL 3.0 and earlier, are deprecated and not considered compliant due to known vulnerabilities like POODLE, BEAST, and CRIME.

You should run compliance checks regularly — at least monthly or whenever you make changes to your server configuration. Many organizations run automated checks as part of their continuous monitoring program to ensure ongoing compliance with SOC 2 requirements.

No, and the distinction matters because SOC 2 is an attestation rather than a technical standard. This page tests transport encryption, which supports the confidentiality criterion. Compliance is established by an auditor reviewing evidence across all criteria — access control, change management, operations. A scanner can contribute one piece of evidence and cannot produce the attestation.

Because the frameworks name different transport requirements. PCI names a specific minimum protocol version explicitly; SOC 2 does not, so this page applies the version the criterion implies. Both arrive at similar conclusions, and where a framework is specific this site follows it rather than applying one rule everywhere.

A dated record showing the transport layer met the criterion at a point in time, kept alongside your change management evidence. That combination — the technical state plus the evidence of who changed it and when — is what an auditor samples. The report is most useful with the history, since a single snapshot cannot show the control operated consistently.

Yes. Internal certificates usually chain to a private root no public trust store contains, so an external check reports them as unverifiable even though they work perfectly inside. That is a fact about the trust boundary rather than a fault. Verify internal systems with tooling that trusts your root, and keep this check focused on what crosses the boundary.

Protocol version and weak ciphers before anything else, since they are the two this page tests and both are one-line changes. Beyond that, the larger SOC 2 work is elsewhere and cannot be reached from a TLS configuration — prioritising access control and change management evidence will matter far more to an audit than any cipher setting.

What Is Checked

SOC 2 has no TLS-specific criterion, but its confidentiality criterion implies encryption in transit. This page tests that narrow part and says what it cannot cover.

1Require a current protocol version, read from the live handshake rather than assumed. The threshold is the version the criterion implies rather than a figure quoted from the framework, since SOC 2 does not name one.
2Reject weak cipher components, since the criterion is about protecting confidential information and broken constructions do not do that regardless of protocol version.
3Report the score across checks performed, with a failed connection recorded as its own finding rather than as zeroes. Nothing measured means nothing scored.

This covers transport encryption only. SOC 2 is an attestation against criteria covering access control, change management, availability and monitoring — assessed by an auditor against evidence, none of which a scan can supply.

Tips & Best Practices

•Verify TLS configuration meets SOC 2 compliance requirements
•Document TLS security controls for SOC 2 audit evidence
•Monitor TLS configuration for ongoing SOC 2 compliance
•Use SOC 2 requirements as security baseline
