A Beginner's Guide to SOC 2 CertificationShyamMishra72
Obtaining SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) certification can demonstrate your organization's commitment to information security and privacy. SOC 2 is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

Every organization which wishes to maintain certification to this standard must undergo a transition audit before March 2019 including resolution of any/all non-conformances raised during
the transition audit. To help get you started, the helpful annexes in the new standard have been expanded to give you more detail on where to focus your attention to understand and implement the
required changes. The work required will of course depend on your products/services and the nonapplicable cause specific to your QMS.

4. What are Service Organizations?
• Service Organization – provider of services that may
impact a user’s financial reporting or pose a
business risk
Services such as:
Cloud computing
Managed security
Financial services customer accounting
Customer support
Sales force automation
Health care claims management and processing
Enterprise IT outsourcing
6. Who are Users?
• Users – typically considered clients of

security, availability, processing integrity,
confidentiality or privacy
• User Auditor – a CPA who performs a audit
on the users financial statements
Needs assurance regarding the controls in place at
the service organization that impact user financial
statements
7. Background
• Why change?
• SAS 70 has become increasingly misused
• Never intended to offer assurance on compliance or
operations
• No such thing as a SAS 70 “certification”
• Convergence with International Standards
• AICPA is seeking to address needs of the marketplace
8. Background
• Several important changes
– December 2009
• International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board
issued new International Standards on Assurance
Engagements (ISAE) 3402, Assurance Reports on Controls
of Service Organizations
– April 2010
• AICPA issued SSAE 16 Reporting on Controls of Service
Organizations (SOC 1)
• First significant modification on topic since SAS 70 issued in
1992
• Effective for reporting periods on or after June 15, 2011
9. Background
• Several important changes
– May 2011
• AICPA issued a new guide for attestation engagements (AT
101) using Trust Services Principles (SOC 2)
– June 2011
• Anticipated release of SSAE 16(SOC 1) reporting guide

1InternalControl Over Financial Reporting
2Service Organization Management, Users, Users Auditor
3Service Organization Management, Users, Knowledgeable Parties
12. Similarities
• SSAE 16 continues the focus on
controls likely to be relevant to their user entities’
internal control over financial reporting (ICFR)
• SSAE 16 will have SOC 1 reports similar in
scope to the current SAS 70 reports
– Type 1
– Type 2
• The format of the reports will not be significantly
different
13. Similarities

Basis for new description of the system
• Treatment of subservice organizations
Included (inclusive method)
Excluded (carve-out method)
• Intended users of the report
Service organization’s management
Users
User auditors
14. Key Differences:
SAS vs. SSAE
• Attest standard (Assertion), not an audit
standard (GAAP)
• Consistency with international standards and
existing attestation standards
• Increased focus on service organizations with
services relevant to a user organizations internal
control over financial reporting (ICFR)
• Some SAS 70 reports will move to SOC 2 or

attached to the SSAE 16 report
• States*:
System fairly represented
System suitably designed and implemented
The related controls activities were suitably designed
to achieve the stated control objectives
That the control activities are operating effectively
(Type 2 only)
*The auditor opinion attests to these statements. Type 1 specified
date/Type 2 throughout the period

Management Assertion
• The report will reference that management is
responsible for:
Preparing the system description
Providing the stated services
Specifying the control objectives
Identifying the risks
Selecting and stating the criteria for their assertion
(e.g. monitoring activities)
Designing, implementing and documenting controls
that are suitably designed and operating effectively
17. Key Differences:
Management Assertion
• Auditor’s Opinion – remains in the role of
providing assurance regarding management’s
assertions (same but more emphasis)
• Auditor is not the entity responsible for the
communication (same but more emphasis)
• Subservice organizations must provide a similar
assertion when the inclusive method is used
18. Key Differences:
System Description

Infrastructure
Software
People
Procedures
Data

address the risks to achieving the control objectives
• Risks to Services Control Objectives
• Risks to Control Objectives Control Activities
23. Design of Controls: Based on Risk
Risk Assessment Supporting Control Design
Services Provided
Assessment of risks to services leads to:
Control Objectives
Assessment of risk to control objective leads to:
Control Activities
24. Other Key Differences

than a point in time
Narrative
Control design
Control implementation
