SOC 1 Type 1 Report
SOC 1 Type 1 evaluates the design and implementation of a service organization’s financial controls at a specific point in time. It provides assurance that the controls are properly designed but does not assess their effectiveness over a period.
SOC 1 Type 2 Report
SOC 1 Type 2 evaluates the effectiveness of a service organization’s financial controls over a defined period (typically 3-12 months). Unlike SOC 1 Type 1, which assesses control design at a single point in time, a Type 2 report demonstrates how well those controls operate in practice, providing a higher level of assurance to clients and stakeholders.
