Be confident that your controls are doing their job with SOC reports.
Your clients trust you to handle their data. It is your responsibility to ensure their data is protected and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
Systems and Organization Control (SOC) assessments and reports are designed to ensure your organization has the proper protocols in place to protect sensitive data. SOC reports can provide confidence in your internal controls and help develop best practices.
We offer the following SOC services:
- SOC Readiness Assessments: Our team helps develop and implement controls to prepare for an upcoming SOC examination.
- SOC 1 Reports: This report covers Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) and is ideal for organizations that process data or provide services critical to their customer’s financial reporting.
- SOC 2 Reports: We report on internal controls as they relate to the five Trust Service Principles established by the AICPA. This report is ideal for organizations that receive requests from clients to provide more clarity on the internal controls in place.
- SOC 3 Reports: This report is similar to SOC 2, but it is ideal for organizations who are looking to share findings with a public audience, as the results are much less detailed.
- SOC for Cybersecurity: Effectively communicate your cybersecurity risk management program and the effectiveness of controls within that program with key stakeholders.
- SOC for Supply Chain: Suppliers, customers, and business partners may request management to establish operational and compliance objectives about the design, operation, and effectiveness of controls within the system.
Understanding SOC Reports and Their Impacts
If your organization is currently performing services or maintaining hardware, software, or data for others, understanding the importance of SOC reports is crucial to your success.
