Frequently Asked Questions
System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports, previously Service Organization Control (SOC), help to verify that an organization is following the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA), a globally recognized body for accounting and auditing best practices. They provide the assurance that the organizational processes and practices, such as those related to system monitoring for unusual activity, system configuration changes (authorized/unauthorized), and user access levels, have the required level of oversight. For service organizations, the AICPA has established three reports as frameworks for examining internal controls – SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3.
