SOC 2 Overview

SOC 2 audits trust service criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Technical controls are essential for meeting these criteria.

Logging and Monitoring

Comprehensive logging is the foundation of SOC 2:

import structlog

from datetime import datetime

class SOC2Logger:

def init(self):

self.logger = structlog.get_logger()

self.required_fields = [

"timestamp", "user_id", "action", "resource",

"source_ip", "outcome", "correlation_id"

]

def log_access(self, user_id, action, resource, outcome, metadata=None):

log_entry = {

"timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),

"user_id": user_id,

"action": action,

"resource": resource,

"source_ip": metadata.get("ip", "unknown"),

"outcome": outcome,

"correlation_id": metadata.get("correlation_id", str(uuid.uuid4())),

"user_agent": metadata.get("user_agent"),

"geo_location": metadata.get("geo"),

"auth_method": metadata.get("auth_method")

}

self.logger.info("access_log", **log_entry)

self.store_immutable(log_entry)

return log_entry

def store_immutable(self, log_entry):

"""Store logs in immutable storage for audit"""

Write to append-only log

with open("/var/log/soc2/access.log", "a") as f:

f.write(json.dumps(log_entry) + "\n")

Also send to SIEM

self.send_to_siem(log_entry)

Access Review Automation

Automate periodic access reviews:
