Essential Steps for Successfully Completing a SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type 1 Audit

Becoming SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type 1 – or Type 2 – compliant, can be a tough, and time-consuming endeavor, but not with NDB. We offer proven resources for helping service organizations put in place all necessary policies, procedures, and processes for SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type 1 and Type 2 compliance.

A SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type 1 audit is often seen as an essential stepping-stone to a SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type 2 compliance assessment. Becoming SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type 1 compliance begins with a much-needed SOC 1 Scoping & Readiness assessment. Following that, essential remediation will often need to be performed on any gaps and control deficiencies found during the readiness phase.

Begin with a Scoping & Readiness Assessment

As mentioned earlier, a big success for one’s SOC 1 SSAE 18 Type audit – or for any audit for that matter – is to begin with a scoping & readiness assessment. When performed correctly, service organizations will have a clear understanding of scope, items to remediate, expected milestones, and much more. It’s an essential part of the audit process that should always be performed, and never overlooked. NDB offers scoping & readiness assessments as part of our fixed-fee pricing.

Perform Essential I.T./Security Remediation

Undertake Necessary Operational Remediation

Hence, areas that require service organizations to roll up their sleeves and put some effort into these measures.
