From the article:
> SOC 2 is a security and compliance framework created by the AICPA
How is it that a group of accountants (the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) was able to create a security framework for software, and position themselves as the sole gatekeeper who decides which auditors are allowed to certify SaaS vendors?
I’m surprised that companies would look to accountants, rather than people from the tech industry, to tell them whether a vendor has good IT security practices.
Yet the whole tech industry seems to be on board with this, even Google, Microsoft, etc. How did this come to be?
