SOC auditor
In order to obtain a SOC 2 report and audit, every organization’s security measures have to go under review and must be verified by a certified auditor. This verification can only be performed by licensed CPA firms that are credible to hold a SOC 2 examination.
The SOC auditors are independent CPAs who work with the System and Organization Controls (SOC) to study and report whether the controls are in place at a service organization or not, based on a set of criteria known as the Trust Services Criteria. This criterion includes security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy. Suppose a service organization aims to provide their prospective customers and partners valuable information regarding managing their client’s data and verifying information security. A SOC 2 auditor’s independent verification is of prime importance in that case.
Working with a certified SOC 2 auditor and a licensed CPA is essential if you want to obtain a SOC 2 report for your service organization.
