SOC 2
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an internationally recognized standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It defines strict criteria for managing customer data based on five key “trust service principles”:
Security
Availability
Processing Integrity
Confidentiality
Privacy
SOC 2 is widely required by global clients who demand assurance that their data is managed under secure and reliable systems.
Our SOC 2–Aligned Practices
At Nextsphere Strategic Management Services, we follow SOC 2–compliant practices to ensure data security and operational integrity across our HR, payroll, recruitment, and contractor management solutions.
Our controls include:
Security Protocols – Strict access controls, firewalls, and continuous monitoring to safeguard client data
Data Availability – Infrastructure and processes designed for reliability and minimal downtime
Confidentiality Safeguards – Role-based permissions and secure storage for sensitive information
Privacy Alignment – Policies that align with SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and the Philippine Data Privacy Act (DPA)
Why It Matters
SOC 2 compliance is increasingly a requirement for international clients in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, and beyond. By adopting SOC 2–aligned controls, Nextsphere assures clients that:
Their data is protected under globally recognized security standards
Operations remain resilient and reliable
Privacy and confidentiality are upheld in every engagement
Our Next Step: Certification Readiness
While SOC 2 certification requires a third-party audit, Nextsphere has already implemented the core practices and safeguards that align with SOC 2 standards. This means our business is audit-ready and committed to the highest levels of trust and compliance as we continue expanding our services globally.
