System and Organization Controls (SOC) Examinations

Differentiate your organization by reporting on controls that increase transparency and build trust with internal and external stakeholders.

SOC 1 Examinations

A SOC 1 report, once known as SSAE16, helps service organizations demonstrate their controls specific to the client’s financial reporting. The report is most applicable when the service provider performs financial transaction processing or supports a transaction processing system. Control objectives are not pre-defined and need to be scoped prior to the reporting engagement or during a readiness assessment. SOC 1 reports are focused on user entities’ internal control over financial reporting (ICOFR). Examples of organizations that should consider a SOC 1 audit include: Cloud ERP service providers, financial services, payroll processing, payment processing, healthcare claims processing and data center colocation.

SOC 2 Examinations

SOC 2 reports apply more broadly to operational controls covering one or more of the five Trust Services Principles (TSPs): Security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and/or privacy across a variety of systems. Examples of organizations that should consider SOC 2 compliance include: Cloud service providers (e.g., SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), enterprise system housing third party data, IT systems management and data center colocation.

SOC 3 Examinations

Much like the SOC 2 report, the SOC 3 examination reports on a service provider’s system security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and/or privacy related to the Trust Services Principles; however, this report is considered to be for general use and can be distributed on a website for the public to read. Examples of organizations that should consider a SOC 3 report include: Cloud service providers (e.g., SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), enterprise system housing third party data, IT systems management and data center colocation.

How a SOC Report Works

Phase 1

SOC Readiness Assessment

Concerns about security and compliance reporting drive organizations to seek help with review of their procedures before undergoing the SOC compliance audit. The purpose of a readiness review is to identify control weaknesses that need correction. Deliverables from the readiness assessment include:

Preliminary control discovery results that will assist in documenting process narratives and crafting the description of controls
Control gaps and areas of improvement
Prioritized observations and recommendations for remediation

Phase 2

SOC Examination Reporting

SOC 1, SOC 2, and/or a SOC 3 examination. There are two types of reporting periods for most SOC reports including a Type 1 (point in time) and Type 2 (specified period of time). Both reports include a description of the overall business and control environment, control objectives, and the supporting control procedures in place to achieve the control objectives.

Deliverables of this phase include a Type 1 or a Type 2 report over any one, or combination of SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3 reporting frameworks using the control objectives, AICPA trust services criteria, or other criteria specified by the client.
