FAQ

What is SOC 2 compliance?

SOC 2 is a framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that sets standards for how companies manage customer data. It focuses on five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

What does SOC 2 Type II mean?

Type II goes beyond a point-in-time check (Type I) and verifies, through an extended audit, that security controls operate effectively over several months. It’s the higher standard most enterprises require.

Why does SOC 2 Type II compliance matter for payments?

Payment data is highly sensitive. SOC 2 Type II compliance shows that a provider like Primer has robust processes, controls, and audits in place to protect data, reduce risk, and meet enterprise security expectations.

Does SOC 2 Type II compliance make Primer PCI compliant?

No: SOC 2 and PCI DSS are separate frameworks. Primer is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant in addition to SOC 2 Type II, ensuring both card data protection and broader data security.

What other certifications does Primer hold?

Alongside SOC 2 Type II, Primer maintains PCI DSS Level 1 compliance and other regional security and data protection standards, giving merchants confidence in its infrastructure across multiple regulatory environments.
