Types of SOC Reports
SOC 1
Report on controls relevant to internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) professional standards for issuing SOC 1 reports require that SOC 1 reports follow the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE). Businesses that provide services affecting financial reporting for their clients should conduct SSAE 16 SOC 1 audits.
There are two kinds of SOC reports and audits:
- Controls reported ensure that they are effective and meet the related objectives for the specified period.
- During a specified period, this type of report assesses the effectiveness of controls within a service organization to achieve its related aim.
SOC 2
SOC 2 audit reports provide detailed information and assurance about a company’s security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls based on their compliance with the AICPA’s TSC (Trust Services Criteria).
A SOC 2 audit is an important part of regulatory oversight, vendor management, and internal governance and risk management.

SOC 3
Similar to SOC 2 reports, SOC 3 reports report on controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy according to general Trust Service Principles. The difference between SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports is that SOC 3 is a general-purpose report, while SOC 2 is much more restricted, and only intended for allowed parties. SOC 3 reporting is an excellent option for technology companies, similar to SOC 2.
