SOC 2

SOC 2 for AI Teams

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) defines the Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. For AI teams, agent governance controls incidentally satisfy key CC6, CC7, CC8, and CC9 criteria — addressing the AI-specific gaps that traditional SOC 2 programs miss.

Frequently asked questions

Does Brigs help with SOC 2?

Yes. Brigs agent governance controls map directly to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria including logical access (CC6.1), role-based access (CC6.3), vulnerability management (CC7.1), monitoring (CC7.2), and change management (CC8.1). This fills the AI-specific gaps in traditional SOC 2 programs.

Can Brigs generate SOC 2 evidence?

Yes. Brigs generates auditable evidence for each control evaluation — including scan results, remediation records, and compliance posture snapshots — that you can present to your SOC 2 auditor as supporting documentation.

Do AI teams need special SOC 2 controls?

Yes — agent governance addresses AI-specific SOC 2 gaps. Traditional SOC 2 controls cover infrastructure and application security, but they don't address agent behavior, tool permissions, autonomous decision-making, or LLM-specific supply chain risks. Brigs fills these gaps.
