How the SOC 3® Report Helps Your Customers

Reputation is essential for any service provider. Your customers should trust they are working with a reliable organization that actively works to keep their information secure and confidential.

A SOC 3 report will show your customers that your service organization has been audited by an unbiased, third-party CPA firm and that your service organization’s controls are suitably designed and effectively meet control objectives. Reporting is carried out following SOC 2 Type II attestation and in accordance with the same standards as SOC 2 compliance.

A SOC 3 report is a recognizable sign of compliance and good standing. It is illustrated on a general-use report that provides only the auditor’s report on whether the system achieved the trust services criteria. Once earned, the auditor’s report may be posted on the recipient’s website and marketing materials. The SOC 3 report can give your customers the assurance that the information and data they give to your company will be kept secure and confidential.

PROCESS

Steps to SOC 3 Audit Success

SOC 3 Assessment: First, the auditor assesses the effectiveness of the organization’s security controls and risk management program. This involves on-site inspections, systems testing, employee interviews, and documentation review. The assessment covers security protocols like encryption, access controls, disaster recovery, intrusion detection, multifactor authentication, firewalls, and performance monitoring.
Attestation Report: After completing the assessment, the auditor prepares an attestation report that summarizes the results. This report only contains information that can be publicly disclosed. The auditor provides a statement of assurance confirming that the organization has met the standards for data confidentiality, access, and integrity.
Publication: The organization has the option to publish its SOC 3 audit report on its website or use it in marketing and advertising campaigns.

FAQs

Common Questions

What is a SOC 3 report?

SOC 3 reports attest to a particular service organization having a system of controls in place that adheres to all the Trust Services Principals for shared data and information. The five Trust Services Principals are security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. A SOC 3 report can be issued for any one or all five of the Trust Services Criteria.

What is the difference between a SOC 3 and a SOC 2 report?

A SOC 3 report covers the same predefined principles as a SOC 2 report but is intended for public use. That’s why the report doesn’t include the auditor’s report on whether the system achieved the trust services criteria. Unlike a SOC 2, it does not provide a description of tests and results or opinion on the description of the system. A SOC 3 is a general-use report that permits the service organization to display the SOC 3 seal on its website. A SOC 2 report is restricted to use by existing user entities and their auditors, not for potential customers.

What is the difference between a SOC 1 report and a SOC 3 report?

SOC 1 reporting focuses on internal controls regarding financial reporting, while SOC 2 and SOC 3 also cover controls that are related to the availability of data, data processing, as well as privacy and confidentiality. Learn more about SOC 1 vs. SOC 2 audits.

When should I consider getting a SOC 3 report?

You can request a SOC 3 report whenever you wish to demonstrate your organization’s dedication to providing exceptional service and compliance with the AICPA Trust Service Principals. A SOC 3 report should be considered as part of a strategy to promote the findings in your organization’s SOC 2 report, especially when they are positive.

Who can perform a SOC 3 engagement?

SOC 3 attestation engagements must be performed by a certified public accountant. The CPAs at I.S. Partners provide the assurance that your organization is in compliance with SOC 3 regulations.
