Baltimore and Maryland business owners need to ensure sensitive data is protected, especially as it relates to financial and personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) (e.g., social security numbers, medical records) of customers. Ensuring the company has robust internal controls and cybersecurity policies and practices in place to protect against a breach 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 2 audit”) verifies that the controls, processes, and procedures have been tested and indicates whether controls are effective.
Schneider Downs provides SOC examinations in Maryland and nationwide to dozens of companies in a variety of industries. Typically, we work with organizations that use or store sensitive financial and other data that cybercriminals may want. Some examples of the clients we serve include Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies, data centers, IT-managed service providers, mortgage and loan servicing companies, medical claims processors, payroll companies, and inventory management and logistics providers. Our diverse range of experience permits us to understand the company more easily, its risk profile, areas of exposure, and important testing variables.
DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION NEED A SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATION CONTROLS (SOC) REPORT?
Baltimore is situated on the Chesapeake Bay and is home to several major attractions, including the Inner Harbor, the National Aquarium, and Fort McHenry, which played a crucial role in the War of 1812 and inspired the writing of the US national anthem. The city is also known for its historic architecture, including the Bromo Seltzer Tower and the Baltimore Basilica, the oldest Catholic cathedral in the United States. The economy is driven by several industries, including healthcare, education, and government. The city is home to several major institutions, including Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins University.
