What Is SOC 2 Report?
SOC 2 Report is an attestation report that measures how well a company adheres to specific security and privacy controls. The report is used by Organisations to show their commitment to protecting customer data. The SOC 2 report is based on the AICPA’s Trust Services Principles and Criteria. The report evaluates a company’s controls in five key areas: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and Privacy.
Why Is SOC 2 Report Worth Your time?

- It increases customer confidence by demonstrating that your Organisation has implemented controls that protect consumer data from unauthorised access and disclosure.
- It enables your Organisation to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements related to privacy and security of consumer data collected electronically or stored in electronic form.

Steps involved with Neumetric for obtaining SOC 2 Report
Our customised procedure will help you establish the credibility of your business, become SOC 2 compliant and implement necessary actions in your organisation to get your SOC 2 Report.
Assessment and identification
Neumetric’s InfoSec team undergoes training from the organisation to understand their business. Once complete, Neumetric starts creating ISMS policies that are required for the SOC 2 Certification. A Gap Assessment is conducted on the organisation while the ISMS Policies are reviewed and approved by the management. An Implementation Plan is prepared based on the Gaps identified for SOC 2 Compliance.
Key Resource Planning for Certification
Based on the Implementation Plan, the gaps are remediated and the defined policies and procedural documents are implemented to bring procedural and cultural changes in the organisation. Post implementation, internal audit is conducted to review the closed gaps, newly defined processes and adherence to the SOC 2 Compliance.
Auditor and Audit Handling
Audit is scheduled with a reputed certifying body to conduct the external audit. Once they are satisfied with the compliance, SOC 2 Report will be issued for the organisation. The external audit is handled by Neumetric’s team of experts who are experienced in managing such audits for various standards and also relevant training is provided to the stakeholders to face the external auditors.
