Blumira's Security Advisor Series: SOC 2 for Third-Party Security

Now more than ever, organizations need to ensure they can protect their customers' data while contracting with third-party vendors, such as software as a service (SaaS) and cloud hosting providers.

One way they can do that is by obtaining a third-party assessment - a SOC 2 compliance report is the industry standard that allows organizations to demonstrate the maturity of their security program.

Join our panel of compliance and security experts from ByteChek & Duo Security for a conversation on SOC 2 and how to easily automate your assessments.

Our panel includes:

• AJ Yawn, Co-Founder & CEO of ByteChek
• Jamie Tomasello, Former Head of Trust & Compliance at Duo Security
• Jeff Cook, Co-Founder & CFO of ByteChek

In this roundtable, they'll discuss:

• Why ensuring third-party security is a business imperative, especially with recent current events
• How the typical SOC 2 process can be a nightmare
• Why starting a SOC 2 journey doesn't have to be expensive or painful

This interactive, conversational-style session encourages questions and engagement with viewers – so sign up today for access to our security experts.
