Back Up Your Claim to Data Security

Whether you’re a technology or cloud service provider, or a collections company or contact center, trust is a crucial asset. You handle critical confidential data, from financial transactions to employee and hospital records. So your customers need to know their data is safe in your hands.

Barnes Dennig’s dedicated SOC reporting team can give your customers that verification with a SOC 2 or SOC 3 report.

About SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports

Both SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports provide assurance about compliance and operations. Both focus on controls related to:

  • Security
  • Availability
  • Processing integrity
  • Confidentiality
  • Privacy

Which report is right for you?

First, consider what level of assurance you need to provide — and to whom.

SOC 2

SOC 2 reports:

  • Contain the Security or Common Criteria and any other Trust Services Criteria (TSCs) that apply to the controls protecting your system
  • Are meant for customers, prospects, and business partners that rely on your system and your control environment

There are two different categories of SOC 2 reports:

  • SOC 2, Type 1 reports, which evaluate whether controls are properly designed, implemented, and documented at a specific point in time (sometimes called “SOC light”)
  • SOC 2, Type 2 reports, which evaluates whether controls are properly designed, implemented, and documented over a period of time

SOC 3

SOC 3 reports:

  • Consist of a high-level summary and a seal of certification
  • Are meant to be shared with the general public and/or used for marketing purposes
