I've been maintaining SOC2 certification for multiple years, and I'm here to say that it's largely performative and an ineffective indicator of security posture.

The SOC2 framework is complex and compliance can be expensive. This can lead organizations to focus on ticking the boxes rather than implementing meaningful security controls.

SOC2 is not a good universal metric for understanding an organization's security culture. It's frightening that this is the best we have for now.
