Services We Provide

Find the Right Service for Your Needs

There are several examinations within our SOC suite of services. We can guide you through the options to find the right fit for your organization.

SOC 1

SOC 1 reports assess an organization’s internal controls that impact customers’ financial reporting. Intended for customers and their auditors, these reports help evaluate how your controls affect their financials, often used by service providers like payroll or AP/AR firms.

SOC 2

SOC 2 reports assess internal controls for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and/or Privacy. These reports provide broad users with detailed assurance on the strength of controls over system security, data processing and information confidentiality.

SOC 3

SOC 3 reports cover the same areas as SOC 2 (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and/or Privacy) but are for general use. They are intended to meet the needs of users who need assurance on internal controls and may be published on an organization’s website.

SOC for Cybersecurity

SOC for Cybersecurity reports examine an organization’s cybersecurity risk management program and controls. These reports are intended to provide users with information to help them understand your process for handling enterprise-wide cyber risks.
