Build Trust
Build trust, drive revenue, and gain the market upper hand with a SOC Report.
SOC 1 examination is a report on controls at a service organization relevant to internal controls over financial reporting. The purpose of a SOC 1 report is to give readers of that report enough information to understand the controls that are in place to ensure controls over financial reporting exist. There are two types of SOC 1 reports:
• SOC 1 Type 1 attests to the design of your controls at a point in time. This is a valuable tool to get a SOC 1 report available to your business faster, and gauge your readiness for a SOC 2 Type 1.
• SOC 1 Type 2 attests to both the design and operating effectiveness of your controls. This audit assesses the operating effectiveness of your controls over a period of time that is typically anywhere from 3 months to 12 months.
SOC 2 examination delivers a report on controls at a service organization pertinent to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy. Designed for a wide audience requiring in-depth information and assurance on these controls, SOC 2 focuses on the systems used to process user data and the safeguarding of this information. There are two types of SOC 2 reports:
• SOC 2 Type 1 attests to the design of your controls at a point in time. This is a valuable tool to get a SOC 2 report available to your business faster, and gauge your readiness for a SOC 2 Type 2.
• SOC 2 Type 2 attests to both the design and operating effectiveness of your controls. This audit assesses the operating effectiveness of your controls over a period of time that is typically anywhere from 3 months to 12 months. This type of report takes longer to get, but is the ultimate tool to communicate to your customers your commitment and effectiveness in the effectiveness of the service you are providing to them.
