Boost Customer Trust and Security

For businesses that handle customer data, demonstrating a robust security posture is not just good practice—it's often a necessity. This is where SOC® (System and Organization Controls) Reports come in.

What are SOC® Reports and Why Do They Matter?

SOC® reports are independent audits that assess a service organization's internal controls regarding security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. These reports provide assurance to your clients and partners that your organization adheres to rigorous standards for protecting their data. 

Think of SOC® reports as a seal of approval for your security practices. They offer numerous benefits: 

• Increased Customer Confidence: SOC® reports provide objective evidence of your commitment to security, building trust with clients and partners.
• Competitive Advantage: A SOC® report can differentiate your organization from competitors who lack such certifications.
• Streamlined Audits: Having a SOC® report allows you to be audited once instead of repeatedly by every client, saving time and resources.
• Risk Mitigation: SOC® reports identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses, allowing you to proactively address them before they become a problem.
• Regulatory Compliance: Certain industries and regulations may require SOC® reports to demonstrate compliance.

Types of SOC® Reports

• SOC 2®: Assesses controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy.
• SOC 3®: A general-use report that summarizes the SOC 2® assessment in a more concise and accessible format.
• SOC for Cybersecurity®: Specifically focuses on an organization's cybersecurity risk management program and the effectiveness of its controls.

SOC 2® Assessment and Report Types

• SOC 2® Readiness Assessment: Identifies gaps in your current controls and helps you prepare for a successful audit.
• SOC 2® Type 1 Report: Assesses the design of your controls at a specific point in time.
• SOC 2® Type 2 Report: Evaluates the operating effectiveness of your controls over a period (usually 6-12 months).
