SOC Readiness Assessments help you uncover gaps and identify opportunities for optimization prior to an official SOC Examination. We help you understand the complexity of the upcoming SOC examination and how your current state of control processes impact the intensity of the readiness process.
SOC 1 examinations are designed to assess whether your internal controls are suitably designed and effectively operating to address financial reporting risks. We provide the quality SOC 1 reporting you need to deliver confidence to management, auditors, regulators and your customers.
SOC 2 examinations are designed to address a service organization’s controls as they relate to the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria, including availability, security, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Our professionals maintain an exceptional level of quality for SOC 2 reports that aligns with the AICPA and helps clients provide transparency to their external stakeholders and those charged with governance.
SOC 2 “Plus” examinations provide an opportunity for service providers to address multiple regulatory/compliance requirements under the guise of a unified report and potentially eliminate inefficiencies throughout the year to support multiple audit requirements.
SOC 3 examinations focus on AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria and in a format that’s easier to comprehend. Windham Brannon can help you with SOC 3 reporting in a general use format ideal for marketing purposes or when stakeholders want less granular details.
