SOC 2 Type 2 for AI
Active Industry GlobalSOC Type 2 evaluates the operational effectiveness of an AI service provider's controls related to data security, privacy, and system processing over time. The audit reviews how these controls perform over a period (e.g., 6-12 months), verifying that they consistently meet compliance and performance standards. It is ideal for organizations that need to demonstrate ongoing control reliability.

SOC Type 2 provides a technical evaluation of the operational effectiveness of an organization’s controls over a specified period, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months. For AI applications, this involves testing whether controls related to data security, system integrity, and privacy consistently perform as intended. The SOC Type 2 audit ensures that AI systems can reliably protect data and meet compliance standards in environments where data is processed continuously.
SOC Type 2 goes beyond SOC Type 1's design assessment by verifying that controls operate effectively over time. For AI automation and integration services, this means the audit will test real-world control performance in processes like data processing, model training, or automated decision-making. It is ideal for organizations that need to demonstrate the sustained reliability of their AI systems, particularly in critical industries like healthcare, finance, or customer service.
Compared to SOC Type 1, SOC Type 2 requires in-depth testing over the review period, making it a more comprehensive standard. It confirms not just the presence of controls but their effectiveness in maintaining compliance across ongoing AI operations.
