Description

SOC 2 Maintenance

Although SOC 2 reports do not technically expire, they are generally considered valid for 12 months.

Once you’ve passed your SOC 2 audit, you’ll therefore want to maintain your compliance with your selected TSC to ensure your recertification audit goes as smoothly as possible – after all, no one wants to start again from scratch the following year, especially if they also have to add extra security controls to meet the requirements of new clients.

This is where we can help.

Our extensive expertise helping organisations implement and maintain information security best practices means we can support you as you embed the controls you need to operate securely.

Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

As well as identifying any SOC 2 compliance gaps and helping you implement the controls you need to pass your SOC 2 audit, we can help you maintain your compliance until you recertify.

Scope of work

Benefits

Benefits of a SOC 2 Audit 

A SOC 2 audit report: 

  • Provides a recognised attestation of the effectiveness of your organisation’s controls relating to security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy; 
  • Is tailored to your organisation’s core business objectives and requirements; 
  • Establishes trust with clients, investors and the board of directors by providing an independent audit; 
  • Identifies and corrects inefficiencies; 
  • Expands your business capabilities to the public sector; 
  • Provides transparency into how your organisation controls and manages risk; 
  • Reduces overall organisational and cyber risk; 
  • Improves cyber resilience; 
  • Lowers the cost of cyber insurance premiums; and 
  • Reduces impact and response times from incidents. 

Who are SOC 2 audits designed for?

SOC 2 audits are aimed at organisations that provide services to other organisations.

If, for example, your organisation provides Cloud services, a SOC 2 audit report will go a long way to establishing trust and credibility with customers and other stakeholders, particularly if you process confidential or personal data.

How we can help you

We can help you prepare for a SOC 2 audit by:

  • Reviewing your current IT status, performing a readiness assessment, and recommending suitable controls and technical measures; 
  • Conducting project and audit scoping; 
  • Guidance in specifying the system or service description based on your core business objectives; 
  • Assistance in defining the trust services categories relevant to your core business; 
  • Performing a risk assessment and selecting controls; 
  • Designing and documenting controls; and 
  • Monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of the selected controls.
