Not All SOC 2 Audit Firms Are Created Equal

If your SOC 2 audit is not performed by a reliable, AICPA-registered CPA firm, your clients or their independent auditors could reject the report, costing your organization time, money and potentially lost business.

Controls Evaluation and Testing

We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your controls and supporting system description based on the applicable control objectives or AICPA trust services criteria. Our procedures test the operating effectiveness of your controls by selecting samples and developing detailed work plans to support our opinion.

Reporting

We provide a detailed SOC 2 report outlining our independent service auditor’s report, your management’s written assertion, your organization’s system description and the results of our testing of the related controls.

SOC 2 Readiness Assessment

Our team will interview key personnel to assess your current controls, identify gaps and provide remediation recommendations to evaluate your readiness for a successful SOC 2 audit. If needed, we can re-evaluate your readiness after remediation to confirm you’re prepared for a successful SOC 2 audit and report.

SOC 2 Type 1 or SOC 2 Type 2 Audit and Report

A SOC 2 report is designed to provide detailed information and assurance about the controls at a service organization relevant to the trust services criteria, including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Moore Colson offers both reporting options:

SOC 2 Type 1 — Examines the suitability of the design of your controls as of a specific point in time.

Our auditors will provide a streamlined report summarizing the SOC 2 testing results you can use for public distribution to show potential customers your commitment to effective internal controls and security.

SOC 2 Audit and Reporting FAQs

What is a SOC 2 audit?

A SOC 2 audit is an examination performed by an independent CPA firm to evaluate a service organization’s controls relevant to the AICPA’s trust services criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. The result is a SOC 2 report that provides clients, partners and auditors with evidence of your organization’s commitment to strong internal controls.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2?

A SOC 2 Type 1 report evaluates whether your controls are suitably designed as of a specific point in time. A SOC 2 Type 2 certification goes further, examining whether those controls operated effectively over a defined period, typically six to 12 months. Most clients and auditors prefer or require a SOC 2 Type 2 report for the stronger level of assurance it provides.

What does a SOC 2 examination involve?

Obtaining a SOC 2 report means that your organization’s controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and/or privacy have been examined and reported on by an independent, AICPA-registered SOC 2 CPA auditor. Obtaining a SOC 2 typically begins with a readiness assessment, followed by a formal SOC 2 audit and the issuance of a final SOC 2 report.

Why do I need a CPA firm for my SOC 2 audit?

Only AICPA-registered SOC 2 CPA auditors are authorized to issue official SOC 2 reports. Non-CPA firms may offer readiness consulting, but they cannot perform the formal attestation. Choosing a non-CPA provider risks producing a report your clients and their independent auditors will not accept. Moore Colson is a licensed, peer-reviewed SOC 2 audit firm with AICPA and PCAOB registration.

How much does a SOC 2 audit cost?

SOC 2 audit costs vary based on your report type (SOC 2 Type 1 vs. SOC 2 Type 2), the trust services criteria in scope, the complexity of your control environment and your reporting period. Contact our team for a SOC 2 audit proposal tailored to your organization’s specific needs.
