SOC 3 Examinations

Delivering SOC Reports With IT, Internal Audit, And External Audit Expertise

A SOC 3 report must be done in conjunction with a SOC 2 Type 2 report.  SOC 3 covers the same five categories as SOC 2 but does not require or need the knowledge necessary to effectively use the details contained in a SOC 2 report.

The main reason a SOC 3 report is obtained is that the report can be posted on a public website or quickly provided to prospective customers, eliminating the need for a Non-Disclosure Agreement and reducing due diligence timelines for closing sales.

We also provide other specialized reports, such as SOC for Cybersecurity and SOC for Supply Chain, to address the risk areas most important to you and your organization.
