What is SOC 1 and Who Needs It?
SOC 1 is a vital attestation for organizations that assures the processes around the financial reporting of client data This is especially relevant for providers in sectors such as financial services, managed service providers (MSPs), and cloud computing services. The SOC 1 engagement evaluates a company’s internal controls over financial reporting, ensuring reliability and integrity in financial transactions and reporting processes. For companies that have an impact on their customers’ financial reporting, obtaining a SOC 1 report is crucial not only for demonstrating their dedication to the security of financial data but also for showcasing their commitment to accurate and efficient data processing, which is essential for the integrity of financial statements.
Sectors including financial services, such as banks and payment processors; managed service providers offering IT support and cloud services; and companies providing outsourced services that influence financial reporting, find SOC 1 compliance indispensable to stay competitive. This certification demonstrates their dedication to upholding stringent controls over financial data and processes, thereby reinforcing their credibility and trustworthiness in handling sensitive financial information. The report is often required by contract by clients using these services.
