FAQ: Does my business need a SOC 1 or SOC 2 report?
Navigating the landscape of Service Organization Control (SOC) reports can be complex, yet understanding the differences between SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 reports is essential for businesses leveraging third-party services. Each report serves a unique purpose. AAFCPAs tailors our approach and recommendations to meet the varied needs of service organizations and their stakeholders.
SOC 1 Reports
Secure a competitive advantage (or parity with your competitor), accelerate deal closures, and increase business wins with a SOC 1 engagement with our team of process and financial specialists.
SOC 2 Reports
Obtain a SOC 2 report and demonstrate that your organization is serious about keeping your service commitments while providing a security baseline to keep client and partner data and systems safe.
SOC 2+ Audits: Simplifying Compliance with Integrated Controls
Combining SOC 2 with a law like HIPAA in a SOC 2+ examination helps to streamline the audit process by addressing overlapping controls, which may be more efficient than conducting separate audits for each compliance objective. This integrated approach also allows for a comprehensive evaluation of compliance practices, potentially enhancing data security and subject information protection—all within a single audit cycle.
SOC for Cybersecurity
Communicate your cybersecurity risk management program and the effectiveness of your controls through a SOC for Cybersecurity. The cybersecurity framework is selected by you and used as the framework for the SOC report.
AAFCPAs’ SOC Audit Advantage: Fast, Smart, Secure
We help clients transition to the enhanced COSO 2013 Framework while effectively managing heightened internal control expectations. Our agile, hands-on approach ensures a transparent process with clear responsibilities, due dates, and efficient evidence gathering—minimizing disruptions to your business.
With smart automation, efficient testing, and a team that includes Certified Ethical Hackers, we deliver SOC reports quickly while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and security. Our process is flexible, adapting to your industry and risk profile, and our reports provide clear, actionable insights that strengthen internal controls and build trust with customers and regulators.
Our Certified Ethical Hacker and dedicated cybersecurity team are actively involved in every SOC engagement, bringing deep expertise in threat detection, risk mitigation, and security best practices to ensure a thorough, high-quality assessment.
We use Agile Scrum for project management, ensuring a fast-moving, transparent process with clear milestones and daily check-ins that are typically no longer than 10 minutes.
We leverage advanced evidence workflow software to streamline the audit process, providing clear visibility into responsibilities, deadlines, and progress through intuitive dashboards—ensuring efficiency and accountability at every step.
Our SOC engagements are led by experienced practitioners who undergo specialized “SOC School” training every two years, ensuring they stay ahead of evolving standards, best practices, and industry trends.
Beyond the report, we offer ongoing guidance to help you stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements. Plus, our straightforward pricing and open dialogue on outcomes make the process seamless and effective.
Our leadership plays a key role in shaping SOC reporting and cybersecurity standards, serving on the AICPA’s cybersecurity and SOC reporting task forces while also leading SOC special interest groups for PrimeGlobal and a select group of top 100 firms.
SOC Readiness to Expedite the Assessment
Often, businesses don’t know they need a SOC report until a large prospect asks for it in order to proceed. These reports provide the assurance prospects or customers need to ensure their sensitive information will be protected if they conduct business with you.
In these cases, we are asked how quickly we can turn one of these around.
Death Master File Certification
AAFCPAs assists clients in achieving the NTIS’s Limited Access Death Master File certification by performing assurance engagements to certify you satisfy all requirements.
ISO 27001 Readiness
An ISO auditor cannot perform the readiness and the audit. AAFCPAs is experienced in ISO/IEC 27000:2022. We can save you time, money, and risk by ensuring there are no nonconformities to delay ISO certification. AAFCPAs works with clients to minimize threats to their information, communication technology assets, and operations. Clients who have engaged us to perform a SOC examination may elect to have us perform the ISO readiness, and many of the controls can be based on the SOC 2.
Starting with this base of controls, AAFCPAs will map to the ISO 27001 framework and identify gaps in controls. We can also test controls in conjunction with the SOC 2, so testing documentation can then be passed to our trusted partner for stage 1 and ultimately stage 2 ISO certification. While AAFCPAs performs readiness and operating effectiveness testing on the incremental controls to meet ISO and align this with the SOC 2 period, our partner relies on our testing to perform certification. All of the hard work is done with us, and the final steps can be completed quickly, seamlessly, and easily.
