What is SOC 1 and SOC 2?

SOC (Service Organization Control) reports are globally recognized assurance reports developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

They evaluate how effectively an organization manages:

  • Financial controls (SOC 1)
  • Data security, privacy, and operational controls (SOC 2).

These reports are essential for SaaS companies, fintech firms, IT service providers, cloud companies, BPOs, and technology-driven businesses.

SOC 1 focuses on internal controls relevant to financial reporting (ICFR).

Best suited for:

  • Payroll processors
  • Financial service providers
  • ERP providers
  • Payment processing companies
  • Outsourced accounting firms

SOC 1 Report Types:

  • Type I – Design of controls at a specific point in time
  • Type II – Operational effectiveness over a period (typically 6–12 months)
