SOC 2 Type II Audit

Last Updated on October 1, 2026 by Hannah Seeley

A Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) audit evaluates how an organization’s systems and controls address applicable Trust Services Criteria, which can include security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Organizations that undergo a SOC 2 Type II audit – like Survey & Ballot Systems – have their controls independently evaluated over a defined period of time. For election providers, a SOC 2 audit can provide assurance that appropriate controls are in place to help protect sensitive information and support secure, reliable voting systems, and processes. Used alongside other IT security best practices, SOC 2 auditing can help organizations evaluate the security practices of their election partners and build confidence in the integrity of the voting process.
