ISO 27001 Certification vs. SOC 2 Compliance

If you’re being asked about your information security, you need to get compliant with SOC 2 or ISO 27001. If your customer or employee base is international, ISO 27001 is for you. We recommend that businesses pursue an ISO 27001 certification when going after deals internationally. It’s likely your customers will ask you to get certified, and it’s best to get ahead of the game.
