What is a SOC 2 report?

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

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

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.

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.

Is SOC 2 the same as ISO 27001?

No. SOC 2 is an attestation standard focused on the Trust Services Criteria, while ISO 27001 is a certifiable standard for an information security management system. Many SaaS companies pursue both to satisfy different customer and regulatory requirements.

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

SOC 1 relates to controls over financial reporting, whereas SOC 2 evaluates controls around security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy—making it more relevant for SaaS companies.

Can I hire Render Compliance for both readiness and SOC 2 attestation?

Yes. Render Compliance offers readiness assessments to prepare your organization and then conducts independent SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.
