What’s a SOC Audit?

A Systems & Organizations Control (SOC) audit provides information about how a service provider is operating. It’s typically validated by an independent third party and provides insights into security, availability, processing, confidentiality, and privacy. Basically an overview of how the service provider manages its operations. The SOC report acts as an extra level of assurance for a customer doing business with a service provider, it also gives the service provider a set of guidelines to follow to help them protect their business and their customers.
