SOC 2 Readiness Assessment
This overview is designed to help the service organization prepare for the SOC 2 examination by identifying deficiencies, gaps, and other potential red flags, along with coaching so management can understand their options to repair them.
SOC 2 Type 1 Examination & Report
(Point-in-Time Assessment)
A SOC 2 Type 1 report evaluates your organization’s system and the design of its security controls at a specific point in time. It confirms that the right controls are in place to meet industry standards and client expectations.
What It Covers:
A description of your system and services
The design of internal controls for security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy
Alignment with AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria
Ideal for: Early-stage companies or those seeking a quick assurance snapshot.
Audit Timing: SOC 2 Type 1 assessments reflect a snapshot in time, rather than testing controls over a longer period.
SOC 2 TYPE 2 Examination & Report
(Annual Audit)
A SOC 2 Type 2 report provides a detailed, third-party assessment of your organization’s controls over a 12-month period. It not only reviews the design of your security controls but also tests how well they operated in practice.
What It Covers:
- Security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy controls
- Testing results and audit findings
- Compliance mappings to ISO standards, HIPAA, and FFIEC
Ideal for: Companies needing proof of long-term security practices.
Audit Frequency: SOC 2 Type 2 audits are conducted annually.
SOC 2+ Examination & Report
(Hybrid Compliance Assessment)
The SOC 2+ report builds on a standard SOC 2 by integrating additional compliance frameworks (like HIPAA or HITRUST) into a single audit. It’s ideal for organizations needing to meet multiple regulatory or security standards with one comprehensive report.
What It Covers:
- SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria plus added controls from frameworks like HITRUST, HIPAA, and CSA STAR
- A third-party opinion on the design and effectiveness of combined controls
- Custom compliance mapping based on your needs
Ideal for: Organizations with complex regulatory needs.
Audit Frequency: SOC 2+ audits are performed annually.
TESTIMONIALS
You Don’t Have to Take Our Word for it
“Our experience working with Adsero and 360Advanced was outstanding. The collaboration between the two teams made our SOC 2 readiness and audit process far more efficient and less burdensome than we anticipated. Adsero’s hands-on guidance during the readiness phase ensured we were well-prepared, and 360Advanced carried out the audit in a thorough yet streamlined manner. The alignment between both teams minimized disruption to our engineering, IT, and security functions and gave us confidence throughout the process.”
