Hasn't Deel been run out of business though?
IME SOC2 is still quite involved for any company, especially smaller ones without specialized security personnel.
Their website is still up, but I have a hunch you can find some other certificate mill that will give you a SOC2 certificate just as easily.
I think both of you meant “Delve”, not “Deel”. Deel is a pretty successful HR startup that’s still growing at a good rate and AFAIK free of major scandals.
Again, Deel is HR, not SOC2. Delve was the SOC2 company described in the article linked above.
