SOC 2 Type 1 Audits

SOC 2 Type 1 audits and assessments for service organizations seeking SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliance

Fixed-fee SOC 2 AT 101 Type 1 Assessments

SOC 2 AT 101 Type 1 assessments are provided by NDB at competitive, fixed-fee rates, and to businesses all throughout North America and beyond. SOC 2 reports, for which you can receive either a SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2, are part of the AICPA Service Organization Control (SOC) framework.

Additionally, SOC 2 reports are conducted in accordance with AT 101, a professional standard that provides general guidance on attest engagements performed by practitioners (i.e., certified public accountants). Many organizations that don't have a clear relationship or nexus to internal controls related to financial reporting (a concept known as ICFR), should consider undertaking a SOC 2 assessment, or possibly even a SOC 3 assessment.

Five Trust Services Criteria to Choose From

SOC 2 reports were designed by the AICPA to include the ever-growing number of technology service organizations, such as Software as a Service (SaaS) entities, data centers, and many other related "cloud computing" environments. Additionally, SOC 2 reports rely on the Trust Services Criteria (TSP) as the essential framework of the assessment itself. Trust Service Criteria (TSP) consists of the following:

  • Security
  • Availability
  • Processing integrity
  • Confidentiality
  • Privacy

SOC 2 Audits – Essential for Technology Companies

Initially, the SOC 2 reporting option did not generate much interest from service organizations and service auditors alike, but this has quickly changed as interested parties are finding real value in SOC 2 reports. Much of this is based on the fact that a large and growing number of service organizations are identified as technology entities, thus the SOC 2 framework is more applicable to their business environment. Some organizations are opting for both SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports in order to satisfy their customer’s requirements for reporting on internal controls.
