Our Approach
SSAE 18 SOC 2 is a type of audit that assesses a service organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It provides assurance to potential customers and other stakeholders that the service organization has implemented appropriate controls to protect their data and systems.
This audit is especially relevant for organizations that handle sensitive or confidential data, such as financial institutions, healthcare providers, and technology companies. The SOC 2 report can be a valuable tool for building trust and credibility with customers.
SSAE 18 SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a widely recognized standard for assessing the suitability of service organizations' controls to meet the trust services criteria of security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Here are the key components of an SSAE 18 SOC 2 assessment
The assessment is based on a framework of five trust services principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
A detailed description of the organization's systems, processes, and controls related to the scope of the assessment.
An evaluation of the design and implementation of controls to address the relevant trust services principles.
A test of the operating effectiveness of controls to ensure they are functioning as intended.
A written assertion from the organization's management regarding the design and operating effectiveness of controls.
An independent auditor's opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the description of controls and the operating effectiveness of those controls.
