Frequently Asked Questions
Type 1 SOC 2 reports provide a snapshot of an Organisation's controls at a specific point in time. They are typically used to provide assurance to clients or customers that the Organisation has adequate controls in place.
Type 2 SOC 2 reports are an evaluation of a service Organisation’s controls. The report is based on the AICPA’s Trust Services Principles and Criteria, which are used to measure how well a service Organisation meets the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy principles. A Type 2 report requires a service auditor to perform tests of the service Organisation’s controls over a period of time.
If you're a company that handles sensitive information or data, and you want the public to know how seriously you take your security and privacy obligations, then you need a SOC 2 report.
SOC 2 audits are performed by qualified, independent parties. These parties are called "auditors," and they act as neutral third-party evaluators of service providers' controls and processes. They are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to perform audits of service organizations' adherence to the SOC 2 standard.
Neumetric's SOC 2 Report Service ensures that your organisation will receive the Certification Report in 9 months (depending on the size of the Organization).
