This is a standard for service organizations that handle customer data. SOC2 requires that organizations establish and maintain a system of controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data. Requirements management is an important part of these controls, as it ensures that customer requirements for data handling and protection are met.
| Relevant feature | Feature description | MR4DevOps feature |
|---|---|---|
| Access Control | Access controls to ensure that only authorized users can access data. Access controls should be in place to ensure that only authorized individuals are granted access to view or modify requirements or other sensitive data. |
