Cybersecurity Audits

Cybersecurity has become a prevalent issue facing most organizations—one that companies recognize as an enterprise-wide issue requiring thoughtful attention. Investments in controls are necessary to protect organizations from increasingly sophisticated and widely available attack methods. Intentional attacks, breaches and incidents can have damaging consequences. A Cybersecurity risk management program report helps your stakeholders and customers know that your IT systems and controls are reliable and operating effectively.  

SOC 1 Audits

SOC 1 is a report on the assessment of internal controls over financial reporting and is used in the audit of your clients' financial statements. SOC 1 reports are specifically designed for auditors of a user entity’s financial statements, management of the user entities, and management of the service organization. SOC 1 is a report on controls at a Service Organization Relevant to User Entities’ Internal Control over Financial Reporting (SSAE 18). It also provides credibility to your customer so they can trust the quality of your services and makes your organization transparent about any control matters.

SOC 2 Audits

SOC 2 is a report on controls at a service organization relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy. SOC 2 guidance will apply in an audit of a service organization’s system that relates to non-financial statement processes and controls. A SOC 2 report helps your clients satisfy their vendor management, business continuity, or regulatory requirements. It also offers the transparency that will allow your customers to put confidence in the quality of your services and controls.

SOC 3 Audits

SOC3 is a report designed for users who need assurance about the controls at a service organization that affect the security, availability, and processing integrity of the systems used to process users’ information and the confidentiality of that information. This is a good option for those who don't have the need for or the knowledge necessary to make effective use of a SOC 2 Report.
