Trusted SOC Audits for Service Organizations

As businesses increasingly rely on third-party service providers to store, transmit and manage sensitive data, clients and auditors are demanding greater proof of strong internal controls. A SOC audit and report is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate that your organization meets those expectations and to remove friction from the sales and contracting process. We help you determine which SOC examination (SOC 1, SOC 2 or SOC 3) fits your contractual obligations and growth goals.

Not All SOC Audits Are Created Equal

If your SOC audit and report is not completed by a reliable, established CPA firm, your clients or their independent auditors could reject the report. This could cost your organization time, money and potentially lost business.

Before we begin your SOC audit, we work with you to confirm the project’s scope and reporting period, tailoring our timeline to your needs, including a readiness or gap assessment.

We conduct a comprehensive assessment 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.

SOC Audit and Reporting FAQs

What is the difference between SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3?

SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 are system and organization controls frameworks established by the AICPA. A SOC 1 audit focuses on financial transaction processing controls. A SOC 2 audit evaluates security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy based on AICPA trust services criteria. A SOC 3 audit summarizes the SOC 2 findings in a publicly shareable format.

What is SSAE 21 and how does it relate to SOC reporting?

SSAE 21 is the auditing standard governing SOC 1 examinations. All of our SOC audit and report engagements involving financial reporting controls are performed in accordance with SSAE 21 examination standards, so your SOC 1 report meets client and auditor standards.

What does SOC examination involve?

A SOC examination is the process by which a CPA firm registered with the AICPA examines and reports on a service organization’s controls. Our team delivers SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports.

How much does a SOC audit cost?

SOC audit cost varies based on the type of report (SOC 1, SOC 2 or SOC 3), the complexity of your control environment, the number of trust services criteria or control objectives in scope and the reporting period.
