About the SOC Report

It is an abbreviation for "System and Organization Controls" and is issued in accordance with the standards set by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants). The report contains information that serves as proof that your company has confirmed that there are no compliance violations in the work that it has outsourced to other companies. It is used in the accounting world and was created by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

There are three types of SOC reports. SOC1 evaluates the controls on systems related to a company's financial information. It primarily verifies the effectiveness of financial reporting processes and related internal controls as of the end of the fiscal year, and has little to do with service process management. SOC2 is a report that focuses on a company's information security, evaluating five indicators: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It is a report that many companies aim to obtain, and is also used by non-agents. SOC3 has the same evaluation criteria as SOC2 and is intended to be widely disclosed.

There are two types of SOC reports: Type 1 confirms the existence and effectiveness of an organization's controls at a specific point in time, while Type 2 evaluates the operation and effectiveness of controls over a period of time. It provides deeper insight by showing the actual operating status. While a successful Type 1 report demonstrates the existence of controls, a Type 2 report can be used by companies to strengthen trust with customers by proving the reliability of their operations.
