SOC 2 is the AICPA’s security attestation framework used by organizations to demonstrate controls over access, system operations, change management and vendor risk.

AIUC and AICPA have partnered to offer SOC 2 + AIUC-1 together. Organizations earn a full SOC 2 attestation and AIUC-1 certification together in one engagement with the existing SOC 2 auditor.

CPA firms assess an organization’s controls against the Trust Services Criteria developed by the AICPA, with security as the required baseline, and availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy as optional extensions.

AIUC-1 complements SOC 2. Certification against AIUC-1:

  • Addresses AI-specific controls not covered by SOC 2
  • Maps SOC 2’s TSCs to AI-specific requirements
  • Includes quarterly third-party technical testing of agents against real-world risks
