SOC Reports

AUDIT & ASSURANCE

What are SOC Reports and who needs them?

System and Organization Controls (SOC) attestations are independent reports that validate the effectiveness of a service organization’s internal controls. Governed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), these reports provide transparency into how you manage risk, secure data, and ensure operational integrity.

For service providers—such as payroll processors, data centers, and SaaS platforms—a SOC report is often the primary way to prove to clients and auditors that your internal environment is secure and reliable. It replaces the need for multiple individual audits from each of your customers, saving time and resources.

WHICH SOC IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Why You Need a SOC Report

In a marketplace driven by data security concerns, a SOC report acts as a powerful differentiator. It signals maturity, reliability, and a commitment to excellence.

Build Client Trust: Provide tangible proof to current and prospective clients that their sensitive data is safe in your hands.
Meet Contractual Requirements: Satisfy the vendor management demands of enterprise clients who require SOC compliance as a condition of doing business.
Streamline Due Diligence: accelerating sales cycles by having a verified report ready to share, eliminating the need for lengthy security questionnaires.
Enhance Internal Governance: Identify gaps in your own processes and strengthen your control environment through the rigor of an external audit.

Types of SOC Reports

SOC 1 Reports

Show controls for organizations impacting client financial reporting.

SOC 2 Reports

Address security and privacy for businesses managing sensitive data.

SOC 3 Reports

Provide a high-level, public summary of your assurance without exposing specific details of your internal controls.

The Path to Attestation

Achieving a SOC report is a structured journey. We guide you through every phase to ensure a smooth and successful examination.

Readiness Assessment: We perform a “mock audit” to identify control gaps and areas for improvement before the official testing begins.
Remediation: You implement necessary changes to fix identified gaps, ensuring your controls are designed effectively.
Examination (Type I or Type II):

Type I: Tests the design of controls at a specific point in time.
Type II: Tests the design and operating effectiveness of controls over a period of time (usually 6-12 months).

Reporting: We issue the final independent auditor’s report, which includes our opinion and a detailed description of your system and tests.
