SOC 2 Readiness and Reporting for Franchise in Jackson (MS)

Whether you're growing quickly or modernizing legacy processes in Jackson (MS), trust has become a measurable requirement-and SOC 2 is often the yardstick.

A SOC 2 report helps you demonstrate how your controls support the Trust Services Criteria and how those controls are operated over time.

For franchise teams, this typically includes safeguarding operational reports, customer loyalty data, and payment and POS records. Many organizations pursue SOC 2 to support brand protection and PCI-adjacent expectations.

Systems and Operations in Scope

We tailor the readiness work to your environment-often covering network segmentation, POS systems, and monitoring and response. The goal is to document how controls work in practice and make evidence collection repeatable.

Our Approach

  • Validation testing to confirm controls are operating as intended
  • Coordination support with the independent CPA firm for a smoother examination
  • Scoping and readiness assessment to confirm boundaries and systems in scope
  • Control design review and gap remediation planning aligned to the Trust Services Criteria
  • Evidence preparation with clear ownership, timelines, and audit‑ready artifacts

What SOC 2 Evaluates

SOC 2 focuses on the Trust Services Criteria. Depending on your scope, the report can address: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy.

Local Support, National Delivery

OCD Tech supports clients in Jackson, MS and across the U.S. We can work with your internal stakeholders and coordinate with your chosen CPA firm to keep timelines clear and expectations aligned.

Next Step

If you're planning a first SOC 2 or refreshing an existing report, we can help you move from uncertainty to an audit‑ready program. Contact OCD Tech to get a scoped plan for your SOC 2 readiness and reporting.
