SOC 2 Type 1
An important evaluation that assesses the design of your internal controls at a specific point in time
What is it?
A SOC 2 Type 1 report is an important evaluation that assesses the design of your internal controls at a specific point in time.
This report determines whether your controls are appropriately designed to meet the Trust Services Criteria, which include security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
By providing an independent assessment of your control design, the SOC 2 Type 1 report offers essential assurance to stakeholders that your organization is committed to maintaining robust data protection practices.
Our Process
1
Pre-Audit Preparation
The first step in our process involves assisting you in preparing the necessary documentation and evidence required for the audit. We work collaboratively with your team to gather all relevant materials, ensuring that your documentation accurately reflects your control environment. This thorough preparation is critical for setting the stage for a successful audit.

Evidence Collection
Throughout the audit preparation phase, our team helps gather the evidence and documentation needed to demonstrate the design and implementation of your controls. We ensure that all collected materials are organized and comprehensive, making it easier for the auditors to evaluate your compliance status. This structured approach not only facilitates a thorough assessment but also reinforces your organization’s commitment to effective control design.

Coordination with Auditors
We facilitate effective communication with independent auditors to streamline the audit process. Our team acts as a liaison between your organization and the auditors, ensuring that all necessary information is provided promptly. By managing this relationship, we help eliminate potential misunderstandings and ensure that the audit runs smoothly.
