Do I really need SOC 2 compliance?

This question comes up because compliance is usually introduced by someone else — a customer, partner, or auditor.

The honest answer is almost always: it depends.

What actually matters

• Who is requesting compliance
• What data you touch
• How your systems are used

Many teams overbuild because no one explains scope clearly.
