Barnes Dennig offers a number of SOC Audit services including:
- SOC 1 Audits – The reports assure your clients that internal controls are secure. These audits focus on your organization’s business processes and IT controls. Any that are likely to be relevant to an audit of your customers’ financial statements are documented in the report. There are two types of SOC reports: Type 1 reports test the design of your organization’s controls. Type 2 reports test whether your controls are properly designed and implemented.
- SOC 2 Audits – These reports concentrate on five Trust Services Principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2’s requirements allow data providers to decide how they want to meet the criteria. This flexibility means SOC 2 reports are unique to each company.
- SOC 3 Audits – Similar to SOC 2 reports in that they examine the same five Trust Services Principles, the results of the audit are publicly available.
- SOC Readiness Assessments – These assessments provide an overview of your organization’s preparedness for a successful SOC 1, 2, 3, or Cybersecurity audit.

About South Dakota (SD)
The business community in South Dakota is characterized by a blend of agriculture, tourism, and a growing financial and healthcare sector. Situated in the heart of the Great Plains, South Dakota’s economy is influenced by its natural resources and the resilience of its residents.
Agriculture has historically been the cornerstone of South Dakota’s economy, and it continues to play a significant role today. The state is a major producer of crops like wheat, corn, soybeans, and sunflowers, as well as livestock, particularly cattle. Family-owned farms and ranches are common, and agricultural output not only provides food but also contributes to the state’s exports and rural communities.
Tourism is another vital component of South Dakota’s business landscape. The state is renowned for its natural beauty and iconic landmarks, including Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, and the Black Hills. Tourists flock to South Dakota to explore its national parks, historic sites, and outdoor recreational opportunities. The tourism industry encompasses hotels, restaurants, and various attractions, providing employment and economic benefits to the state.
South Dakota business owners need to ensure sensitive data is protected, especially when it comes to personally identifiable information (PII). Ensuring the company has robust internal controls and practices in place to protect against a breach is essential. In fact, many may expect to see a System Organization Control (SOC) Audit report before working with a provider. This examination verifies that the tools, processes, and procedures have been tested and are effective. Some may desire a SOC 1 audit, while others will obtain more value from a SOC 2 examination or SOC 3 audit. Whatever the desired level of assurance, it is important to work with an experienced provider to drive the process.
