S3 Security begins with a complete readiness assessment to identify significant security gaps, provide insights and recommendations for improving controls, and provide an opportunity to remedy any issues prior to your formal SOC audit.
CERTIFIED SOC AUDITS
YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER FOR SOC REPORTS
If you need to perform a certified SOC1, SOC2, or SOC3 audit, you’ll want a partner who can make the process as simple and effortless as possible. S3 Security fits the bill – applying the same principles, protocols and practices that have led to thousands of other successful compliance assessments and made us a leader in cybersecurity.
OUR PROCESS
WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Collaborating with your team and one of the Top 100 CPA firms in America, S3 Security assesses the systems, policies and procedures in place to safeguard data across your information architecture and digital ecosystem. Together, we then evaluate the evidence you’ve provided regarding controls in each of these categories to deliver your SOC report.
Perhaps most importantly, your certified SOC audit is led and managed by a senior team of experienced security experts and CPAs to ensure complete accuracy, efficacy and satisfaction.
SOC 1 Reports
Certified SOC 1 Reports not only demonstrate a strong position regarding your control environment relevant to the processes that impact controls over financial reporting but promote customer trust that your outsourced business partners are also protecting financial reporting processes. Type 1 Reports are generated in relation to a specific point in time and Type 2 Reports assess security over a longer period of several months.
SOC 2 Reports
Certified SOC 2 Reports provide a comprehensive overview of your company’s control infrastructure, including an evaluation of how you comply with regulatory commitments regarding the AICPA Trust Principles of Security, Data Processing & Storage, Service Availability, Confidentiality and Privacy. Like SOC 1 audits, Type 1 Reports are produced relative to a specific point in time and Type 2 Reports evaluate performance over a period of six months or more.
SOC 3 Reports
Certified SOC 3 Type 2 Reports focus on operational controls pertaining to the suitability of design and the operating effectiveness of those controls – thus satisfying the customer expectations of service organizations that are subject to the AICPA Trust Principles but may not need a full SOC 2 Report for the purpose of assuring current and prospective clients their information is effectively safeguarded.

BENEFITS OF SOC ASSESSMENTS
Certified SOC reports not only assure your customers and partners you’re serious about protecting their data but can also give you a competitive advantage over other service providers to expedite client recruitment and attract more prospects.
In short, these assessments demonstrate your commitment to corporate governance, satisfy requirements for organizational and regulatory oversight, and may also allow you to forego laborious security surveys on a client-by-client basis.
