SOC 2 is an attestation report, not a certification. A CPA firm examines controls against the AICPA trust services criteria and issues a restricted-use report for a period. CertReports indexes what is public: the report type, period and auditor where the vendor or a registry states them, plus the CSA STAR Level 2 attestations built on SOC 2 examinations.

A Type I report describes controls at a point in time. A Type II report tests them over a period, commonly six to twelve months. Most buyers ask for Type II covering the last twelve months, or an older report with a bridge letter of at most three months.
The AICPA issues no certificate and keeps no registry of audited organisations. A vendor that says "SOC 2 certified" usually means it has a report; CertReports records the report claim and flags the terminology.
SOC 2 reports are shared under NDA through the vendor trust centre. CertReports links to the request flow and never hosts, caches or summarises the report beyond facts the vendor has already published.
