SOC2-P3.2 P3.2 Explicit consent before collecting information that requires it
SOC2-P3.2 in SOC 2 (the AICPA 2017 Trust Services Criteria with the revised points of focus). All SOC 2 controls held. Open SOC 2 on the standards site.
The control as we hold it
P3.2 Explicit consent before collecting information that requires it. Where information requires explicit consent, the need for consent and the consequences of withholding it are explained, and consent is obtained before collection. Points of focus: explicit consent is obtained directly for sensitive personal information unless law says otherwise; and documentation of that consent is retained in line with privacy objectives.
