SOC 2 Type II Certified MSP in Orange County
CAL IT Group is SOC 2 Type II certified across all five Trust Service Criteria, one of the most comprehensive security standards a managed IT services provider can hold. For businesses across Huntington Beach, Irvine, and the rest of Orange County, that means independently verified protection for your data, your systems, and your operations, not a self-reported promise.
A Verified Standard, Not a Marketing Claim
SOC 2 Type I confirms that security controls are designed correctly at a single point in time. SOC 2 Type II goes further, requiring an independent CPA firm to observe those controls in action over an extended period and verify they perform consistently under real operating conditions. CAL IT Group holds a SOC 2 Type II report, meaning our security practices have been tested over time, not just documented on paper.
Certified Across All Five Trust Service Criteria
Most managed service providers that pursue SOC 2 limit their scope to a single category: security. CAL IT Group has been certified against all five Trust Service Criteria defined by the AICPA, covering every layer of how we protect, deliver, and manage client data.
Security
Independently verified protections against unauthorized access, keeping client systems and data secure from evolving cyberthreats and intrusion attempts.
Availability
Documented controls confirming our systems and services remain accessible and operational when your business needs them most, backed by ongoing monitoring.
Processing Integrity
Verification that data processing is complete, accurate, timely, and authorized, so the information your business relies on can be trusted.
Confidentiality
Controls ensuring sensitive client information is protected from unauthorized disclosure at every stage of storage, transmission, and handling.
Privacy
Independently tested practices governing how personal information is collected, used, retained, and disposed of responsibly and transparently.
Regulatory Alignment
Businesses in healthcare, finance, and legal services can point to independently verified controls that support their own HIPAA, GLBA, and industry compliance obligations.
Continuous Verification
SOC 2 Type II is not a one-time achievement. It requires ongoing monitoring and annual re-examination, so the standard stays current rather than static.
Local Accountability
As an Orange County-based provider, CAL IT Group is directly accessible to the businesses it’s certified to protect, not a distant call center reading from a script.
