SaaS Security & Compliance: SOC2, GDPR, and HIPAA Guide

Enterprise customers won't buy your SaaS without security certifications. SOC2 Type II is the minimum bar for B2B SaaS. GDPR is mandatory for EU customers. HIPAA is required for healthcare data.

SOC2 Type II

SOC2 evaluates your controls across five Trust Service Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Type II requires demonstrating these controls over a 6-12 month audit period.

GDPR Essentials for SaaS

• Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all customers
• Right to erasure (data deletion on request)
• Data portability (export in standard formats)
• Breach notification within 72 hours
