Question 1

What is a SOC 2 report?

Accepted Answer

A SOC 2 report is an attestation that assesses a service organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

Question 2

How long does it take to get a SOC 2 report?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary with your readiness and the scope of the audit. Type 2 reports typically cover at least six months of operational evidence. Render Compliance guides you through readiness so you can complete your audit more quickly and efficiently.

Question 3

What’s the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2?

Type 1 reports evaluate the design of your controls at a point in time, whereas Type 2 reports assess both the design and operating effectiveness over a period of time.
