What is a SOC 2 report?
A System and Organization Controls (SOC) report is an attestation by a licensed CPA firm that your organization has the appropriate information security policies and procedures in place to safeguard customer data. A SOC 2 report indicates whether your security controls will operate as intended to mitigate risk and if they meet the specific Trust Services Criteria (TSC) identified by the scope of the audit.
Preparing for a SOC 2 examination requires more than just gathering evidence. Whether you’re facing a Type 1 or Type 2 audit, having the right people, process, and platform in place to elevate your cybersecurity framework is essential.
When it comes to SOC 2, you need a partner, not just an auditor. The A-LIGN team is available to assist you with SOC 2 readiness assessments, a SOC 2 audit, or any of your cybersecurity and compliance needs. Complete the contact form and our team will reach out within 24 hours.

Risk Assessment
Have you performed a risk assessment?
A risk assessment should be performed at least annually to identify potential threats to your information security and privacy framework.
Are You
SOC 2 Ready?
A SOC 2 readiness assessment is the first step of your SOC 2 journey. Complete our checklist to see how close your organization is to reaching its potential. Regardless of your results, A-LIGN has a strategic compliance solution to help you elevate your compliance readiness for SOC 2 reporting.
Find out how A-LIGN can elevate your SOC 2 readiness and put together a strategic plan to meet additional security standards.

Identify relevant information assets that are critical to business operations and prioritize them based on needs
Identify and assess the impact of threats to those information assets
Identify and assess the impact of any vulnerabilities associated with identified threats
Assess the likelihood that identified threats and vulnerabilities will contribute
to a security breach
Determine the risks associated with all information assets
Address any associated risks identified for each vulnerability
The risk mitigation process should rate known risks based on their likelihood and their potential impact.
Have you identified, selected, and developed mitigation strategies for addressing potential security risks (both for your business and for any associated vendors and partners)?
Risk Mitigation
Once risks are prioritized, policies and procedures should be put in place to address
them using one of four risk management strategies:
Avoid the risk
Mitigate the risk
Transfer the risk
Accept the risk

Security controls should be designed to shore up vulnerabilities, minimize deviations, and close control gaps that were identified throughout the risk assessment process. These policies and procedures need to be documented in order to demonstrate to a SOC 2 auditing firm how the organization is addressing security risks.
Have you documented control activities to mitigate risks and achieve the organization’s objectives?
Control Activities
An assessment, review, and management process should be in place to evaluate risks posed by third-party vendors.
Have you put vendor management and oversight procedures into operation?
Vendor Management
Some oversight procedures may include:
Periodic discussions with vendors
Regular site visits to vendor facilities
Tests of vendor security controls
Review of vendor SOC 2 attestation reports
External communication monitoring (such as a review of customer complaints relevant to the vendors)

Have you identified the appropriate change control procedures for your organization?
Segregation of Duties for Change Control Procedures
Separated environments for production, testing, and development should be maintained. If a separation of duties cannot be achieved, file integrity monitoring (FIM) software should be utilized to deliver active alerts to the appropriate personnel when changes need to be migrated to the production environment.
