How to ensure SOC 2 Compliance for SaaS solutions, the framework that applies to any service provider that stores customer data in the cloud

How to ensure SOC 2 Compliance for SaaS solutions, the framework that applies to any service provider that stores customer data in the cloud | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

SOC 2 compliance is an increasingly common framework and applies to many businesses today. Specifically, SOC 2 applies to any service provider that stores customer data in the cloud. It is quite relevant to SaaS businesses, but also to many others who store their customers’ data in this way. SaaS vendors in particular need to be SOC 2 compliant in many instances, especially when they sell to the enterprise. Enterprises are often beholden to a wide variety of security and compliance controls, and being demonstrably SOC 2 compliant as a vendor gives those enterprise customers the peace of mind they need to do business with you.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: compliance to SOC2 can be a challenge in large organizations as many users will store data in the cloud through SaaS solutions that often are not reported to upper management. This article helps explain what this is and how to deal with it.

Internet privacy: Jumbo & disconnect.me, 2 apps that protect you from your apps via @TheGuardian | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Jumbo, an app for iOS and Android, launched in 2019 with the promise that it would cut through some of that confusion. The offer was simple: download the app, check a few boxes and it would automatically lock down your privacy settings on platforms including Facebook, Google, Twitter and Amazon. Rather than having to hunt down every individual preferences screen and decipher which settings were innocuous and which were merely deliberately phrased to sound innocuous, the app would do it for you.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: privacy is very important but it seems that the cure remains difficult. I have not tried Jumbo yet - I will - just to see what I will loose by being more private...

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: retailers that sell on multiple marketplaces - eBay, Amazon, Walmart, ETSY, ... - all face the same challenge: content syndication. Solutions like the one in this link enable eCommerce platform - here shopify - to manage the products in a single place (shopify) then let the connector publish the content in multiple marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, ...). An essential component of any eCommerce strategy IMHO.

The impact of this technology on marketplaces is more difficult to assess however. Certainly having the ability to publish in 10s or 100s marketplaces at the push of a button will commoditize them. How will marketplace react? Raise fees for vendors that sell on other marketplaces? Reduce fees for "unique" product SKUs? What do you think?
