SOC 1 CERTIFICATION – NEWARK, NJ

Newark and New Jersey business owners need to ensure sensitive data is protected, especially as it relates to the financial information of customers.  Organizations also continue to face pressure from regulators and customers to demonstrate that adequate controls are in place with respect to processing transactions and internal controls over financial reporting. Government regulations, such as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX 404) stress the need for effective internal controls. Ensuring the company has robust internal controls and policies and practices in place is essential. In fact, many may expect to see a System and Organization Controls (SOC) report before doing business with a company. This examination (often referred to as a “SOC 1 audit”) verifies that the controls, processes, and procedures have been tested and indicates whether controls are effective.

About Newark (NJ)

The Newark business community is a vibrant and diverse ecosystem with a strong presence of both small businesses and large corporations. This mix contributes to the city’s dynamic economic landscape. Historically, Newark has been a hub for industries such as insurance, finance, and shipping, thanks to its strategic location and transportation links including a major airport, railway systems, and port facilities.

In recent years, there’s been a noticeable shift towards technology and healthcare, attracting startups and fostering innovation. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Rutgers University-Newark play significant roles in this transformation by acting as incubators for new technologies and research, respectively.

Moreover, the city government has been active in revitalizing the downtown area, attracting new investments and improving infrastructure. This has led to the development of office spaces, conference centers, and a surge in retail and culinary ventures, enriching the community’s profile.
