SOC for Supply Chain

Deliver sound risk management practices, internal control systems and compliance frameworks.

What is a SOC for Supply Chain Report?

SOC for Supply Chain reports helps organizations communicate certain information about the supply chain risks and management efforts to assess and implement an effective system of controls that mitigate those risks. These reports provide management with a competitive advantage when competing for work with user entities, such as manufacturers or distributors, by demonstrating to users the organization’s commitment to keeping data secure and meeting performance metrics.

A SOC for Supply Chain report covers the types of goods produced or distributed, product performance specifications and system components like infrastructure, software and people. It also includes details on significant inputs like raw materials and distribution channels and aligns them with the criteria of a SOC 2 report.
