What’s SOC 2?
SOC 2 is an auditing procedure that makes sure your service providers securely manage your data to protect the interests of your organization and the privacy of its clients. Drata will show users the tests they run against the SOC 2 framework and how it maps to the controls. If a user fails the test, Drata informs them of why, what was incorrect, and how to fix it.
Gusto syncs your personnel data to Drata to assist with the automated test suite for SOC 2 compliance. Drata will be able to determine employment statuses of employment and make sure that you maintain alignment across your organization with regards to security and privacy.
Customers who join Gusto from Drata will receive Gusto free for their first 3 months.
