SOC 2 Type 1
Report evaluates the design and implementation of your internal controls at a specific point in time
What is it?
A SOC 2 Type 1 report evaluates the design and implementation of your internal controls at a specific point in time. It’s often the first formal step in demonstrating your organization's commitment to information security, privacy, and compliance with the Trust Services Criteria (TSC).
This report evaluates whether your controls are effectively designed to align with the Trust Services Criteria, which encompass security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. By delivering an independent evaluation of your control design, the SOC 2 Type 1 report provides crucial assurance to stakeholders regarding your organization's dedication to upholding strong data protection practices.
Our Process
1
Scope Definition & Criteria Selection
We work with you to determine the relevant Trust Services Criteria (e.g., Security, Availability), define system boundaries, and select control objectives.
3
Documentation Finalization
We assist in developing a system description, control matrix, and associated policy documents required for audit submission.
5
Walkthroughs & Evidence Collection
We support your team during auditor walkthroughs, interviews, and evidence reviews to validate control design and implementation.
2
Readiness Confirmation
We assess whether your controls are in place and sufficiently documented to meet the expectations of the SOC 2 framework.
4
Audit Engagement Planning
We coordinate with the selected CPA firm, align timelines, and ensure all parties are prepared for audit activities.

Post-Audit Debrief
We review auditor feedback, clarify findings, and prepare you for your next audit cycle (usually a Type 2).
