CONTACT USHow does FRSecure approach SOC 2?
FRSecure performs Type 1 and Type 2 pre-audit assessments with varying levels of support, depending on your internal staff, to help save you money during the actual audit.
SOC 2 Phases
What an engagement with FRSecure looks like:
Planning & Scoping
We review all of your controls to determine a plan uniquely tailored to your organization and where it fits in the SOC 2 spectrum. This includes defining the scope of the audit, identifying the Trust Services Criteria that will be evaluated, and assessing the risks and controls.
Testing & Documentation
Once the testing areas are identified, we evaluate the controls and processes. Based on the results, we work with your team to develop an improvement plan that will get you on the right track to meeting SOC 2 requirements.
Reporting
Once an auditor receives the documented evidence gathered during the testing process, they’ll review and issue the SOC 2 report, which includes their opinion on the effectiveness of the controls and processes.
Remediation
This is the final review by our analysts to ensure the auditing firm has everything they need in order for your organization to pass the final audit. We then address any identified control weaknesses and implement changes where needed.
SOC 2 FAQ
A SOC 2 is an assurance to your customers and vendors that you take information security seriously. SOC 2 can be beneficial if a vendor is asking you to be compliant, you are required to have certification for a contract, or you want to have an advantage over competitors.
Type 1 focuses primarily on the design of security controls and Type 2 does a deeper dive to evaluate the actual effectiveness of those controls over time.
No. You are never “done” with SOC 2. Compliance needs to be maintained ongoing. There’s no such thing as achieving security. An annual audit is required to provide assurance that your controls continue to operate effectively.
We help prepare you for the SOC 2 audit to help ensure you pass, but we don’t perform the actual audit itself. We focus on improving overall security which leads to compliance being achieved and maintained.
